Safety in road tunnels – modified flashing 828 beacon

Empty freeway at night

When accidents occur in road tunnels, the safety of tunnel users takes top priority. Clear identification of escape routes can save lives.

To aid identification, a clear flashing beacon is added below the familiar green emergency exit signs, and a yellow flashing beacon below the blue ones. These attention-grabbing 828 beacons from WERMA provide a safe and reliable means of pointing the way to the nearest escape route, especially if the area is thick with smoke.

The Xenon flashing beacon 828 developed specifically for overhead mounting carries a high protection rating of IP 65. A special pressure compensating valve on the lens also prevents the build-up of condensation inside the beacon, affording optimum protection against even the most robust tunnel cleaning operations.
