Polara has introduced a solar-powered, wireless pedestrian signal that significantly reduces installation costs for U.S. cities. By eliminating the need for traditional wiring and extensive infrastructure work, these signals can be set up within days and save communities up to 65% compared to conventional solutions. With only a small fraction of intersections equipped with accessible signals, this technology holds promise for improving navigation for the 20 million Americans with vision impairments, especially in historically underserved areas like New York and Chicago.
A new technology is helping U.S. communities install accessible pedestrian signals at a fraction of the typical cost, aiding the visually impaired.
