Safe Crossing
Surface-mounted pedestrian refuge islands for safer crossings where a full controlled crossing is not justified or cannot be delivered quickly.
Product Overview
Pedestrian refuges provide a protected midpoint on roads too wide to cross safely in one phase. Solid rubber construction in one or two pieces, installed in half a day without excavation. Surface-mounted tactile paving integration for accessibility, with optional cable-less solar-powered beacon.
Capabilities
Accessible
Surface-mounted tactile paving for visual impairment accessibility, integrated directly into the refuge island.
Rapid
Complete pedestrian refuge installed in half a day with no excavation. Minimal disruption to live carriageway.
Autonomous
Optional cable-less solar-powered beacon eliminates the need for mains connection and costly ducting work.
Technical Data
All refuge islands are 130mm height, manufactured from 100% recycled tyre rubber. Surface-mounted tactile paving and optional solar beacon available for all sizes.

Common Questions
A complete refuge island can be installed in half a day with no excavation, including tactile paving if required.
Tactile paving tiles (400 × 400mm, buff) are available as a separate accessory and can be surface-mounted directly onto the refuge island using the supplied adhesive.
Yes. An optional cable-less solar-powered beacon with refuge post eliminates the need for mains connection, ducting or electrical work.
A refuge provides a protected midpoint for pedestrians crossing in two stages, without vertical speed deflection. A raised table is more appropriate where both a crossing point and speed reduction are needed.
Yes. Pedestrian refuges use the same base island units (RI-1000 through RI-2000) with the addition of tactile paving integration and optional beacon mounting.
We can advise on whether a refuge, island or raised crossing is the right solution for your site.
