Pedestrian safety is at the heart of every well-designed street. As towns and cities look for smarter ways to improve crossings without major disruption, Portland Traffic’s Crossafe Converter offers a practical, modern solution. Designed to upgrade existing profiled illuminated posts, the Crossafe Converter transforms legacy pedestrian crossing infrastructure into high-performance, modern systems, without complex electrical work or costly construction projects.
Fast Upgrades, Minimal Disruption
One of the biggest advantages of the Crossafe Converter is speed. In under 30 minutes, traditional illuminated posts can be upgraded on site. This rapid installation minimises disruption to pedestrians and road users while allowing councils to implement safety improvements quickly and efficiently.
The result? Safer crossings delivered without lengthy road closures or extended works.
High-Performance LED Technology
At the core of the Crossafe Converter is advanced LED lighting technology. The system automatically adjusts brightness levels to suit ambient light conditions, ensuring pedestrian crossing lights remain clearly visible during the day. At night, the lights dim intelligently to reduce glare and improve comfort for drivers, while also saving energy. For locations that demand even greater visibility, optional ZEBSTAR or ZEBSTAR+ beacons can be added, providing an extra level of warning to approaching traffic.
Built to Last in All Conditions
Durability is essential for street infrastructure, and the Crossafe Converter is engineered with longevity in mind. Constructed from extruded aluminium and finished with a tough polyester coating, the system is fully weather-resistant with an IP65 rating.
UV-stabilised polycarbonate lenses and white micro-prismatic bands enhance both visibility and resilience, making the system a reliable long-term solution for busy pedestrian crossings.
A Sustainable and Cost-Effective Choice
By upgrading existing posts rather than replacing them entirely, the Crossafe Converter significantly reduces waste and material use. Its energy-efficient design lowers power consumption and helps reduce carbon emissions, supporting more sustainable transport infrastructure.
For local authorities, this modular approach delivers clear cost savings, both in installation and ongoing maintenance.
