U.S. Barricades Highway Advisory Warning Beacon Systems alert motorists to potential dangers with a combination of flashing lights, or beacons, and a static message sign instructing motorists to tune their radio to a particular frequency for important announcements. Used in conjunction with Highway Advisory Radio (HAR) Systems, U.S. Barricades Flashing Beacon Systems inform motorists of special conditions or emergencies on the roadway.

Flashing Beacon Systems can be permanent or portable systems. A permanent system allows you to notify motorists about traveler information, such as traffic delays or weather events. A portable system is a great companion for special events, work zones or temporary emergencies.Flashing Beacon Systems are easy to operate, providing driver feedback for neighborhoods, school zones, work zones
