Eco-Signal is a new system to improve the safety of cyclists riding on shared traffic lanes.

How it Works
The ZELT Loop can be combined with a flashing warning sign, located at a dangerous spot for cyclists. Drivers are therefore aware of the presence of cyclists before arriving at this dangerous spot, and can thus adjust their driving.
Applications
Any shared road with different types of traffic and poor visibility :
Bike junction
Tunnel entrance
Bicycle path overlapping
Top of hill
Installation Examples
Increase Safety on Dangerous Crossings

Increase Safety on Dangerous Tunnels
Eco-Signal increases the safety in the tunnel of « Les Grands Goulets » in France. Cyclists going through the 1710 m long tunnel are detected by a zelt Loop and signaled to drivers.

Increase Safety on Dangerous Bridge s
In New-Zealand, drivers did not pay much attention to the fixed warning sign installed at the entrance of a bridge. The installation of an Eco-Signal showed a significant reduction of the drivers' speed.
