Safety lighting, focused on pedestrians.
PEDCan is a patented light that helps drivers see pedestrians before they enter the crosswalk to avoid crashes.
Improving your high-risk corridors, one well-lit crosswalk at a time.
Top-down view of an intersection: a PEDCan above each crosswalk lights the four corner waiting areas where pedestrians gather — putting people exactly where approaching drivers can see them.
Crossing at dusk or early morning is dangerous.
We light the road for cars, but the people crossing it are left in shadow. The data shows where that leads.
Hit your Safety Targets.
PEDCan fits the way DOTs, MPOs, and local governments already plan, fund, and deliver safety. No new program required.
Make your city safer, on budget
Light the high-risk crossings residents actually worry about. Start with one, scale when you're ready.
Turn grant dollars into outcomes
Convert Safe Streets (SS4A) and HSIP funding into installed, measurable safety. Your MPO (like the Grand Valley Metro Council) administers the dollars; PEDCan delivers the results.
Prevent Nighttime Crashes
Reduce nighttime pedestrian crashes on the corridors you manage, without new poles or reconstruction.
Three steps that turn a dark crosswalk into a safe one.
Install
A single bracket mounts PEDCan on the signal your city already operates. Standard traffic-signal hardware, no new poles.
Improve
PEDCan turns a high-risk crosswalk into a measurable intersection safety improvement, the kind of upgrade Safe Streets and Vision Zero programs are built to fund.
Illuminate
In low-light conditions, the unit's photosensor automatically activates the lighting, a pedestrian-focused pattern so drivers see people before they cross, with no user intervention.
Invest in safety.
PEDCan is built for how municipalities actually adopt new safety technology, low risk to start, easy to justify, and ready to grow into a corridor or citywide program. It’s grant-eligible under the federal Safe Streets and Roads for All (SS4A) program, turning safety dollars into installed, measurable results.
Pilot
Pick your highest-risk intersection. PEDCan installs on the existing signal, no new poles, with minimal disruption.
Measure
See the change in nighttime visibility and driver behavior. Our reporting helps you build the safety case your council and grant applications need.
Scale
Easily roll out across corridors and the whole city at an affordable per-intersection cost, budgeted locally and funded with grant dollars.
PEDCan® · illuminated at dusk
Engineered to be the simplest safety upgrade a city can make.
- Pedestrian-focused light patternLights the people, not the sky. True vertical illumination that lets drivers see them before they enter the roadway.
- 4,000 lumens at 43 wattsBright, even crosswalk illumination with low energy draw.
- Single-bracket mountInstalls on new or existing poles, mast arms, or spanwire.
- Automatic dusk-to-dawnTurns on automatically when it gets dark. No programming or manual schedules needed.
- Built to scale affordablyEasy on municipal budgets. Pilot one crossing or outfit a corridor.
- Built for the elementsDurable, weatherproof housing made to last outdoors.
Up and running in hours, not days.
PEDCan mounts on the signal framework your city already operates. No trenching, no new poles.
Attach
PEDCan attaches to standard traffic signal hardware.
Tie into signal power
Connect to the power the intersection already runs, no new service, no heavy electrical work.
Align with sidewalk
The pedestrian-focused beam is directed onto the waiting area and crossing, illuminating people before they cross, not the sky.
It runs itself
A built-in photocell switches PEDCan on at dusk and off at dawn (and anytime visibility is low), automatically, every night.
Available today. Engineered for what’s next.
PEDCan illumination is shipping now on a single bracket, new or existing signals. Smart PEDCan, our detection-and-alert system, is in active development.

Laura Rampersad
Laura knew the data. Proper lighting dramatically reduces pedestrian crashes after dark and in low-light conditions. As federal infrastructure funding opened up, she asked a simple question: why aren't we using it to make pedestrians visible and safe?
Then, on her drive home one evening, she watched a young woman get struck by a driver turning on a green light. The pedestrian survived, but poor lighting played a clear role. Laura went on to design PEDCan, retrofittable lighting that mounts on existing signals and removes the shadows that hide people before it's too late.
