Time for some good news during these terrible times. There are firms that have found a niche of innovating in an industry that is not known for innovation.  I have appended a link to an article that describes this new technology developed by PBX for use in Langley BC. If you can develop a warning system by marrying and integrating layers of other systems into one that works independently from the tried and true track system then we have a potential new technology to warn drivers supplementing the flashing lights with more specific safety information to drivers.  I intend to follow up with this company to see where they think this technology might take us.

Have a safe week.  Stay home, stay safe. Safety for Life!
