Safe-turn® for Cyclists

WARNS CYCLISTS AT JUNCTIONS

Nearside AirBars deploy automatically at under 15mph when the left turn indicator is activated and create a highly effective visible alert to cyclists - or other VRUs. Cyclists see the AirBars as a physical barrier and wait behind the vehicle where the driver can see them in the rear-view mirror.

Safe-turn^® with AirBar

The Problem

Cyclist fatalities and serious injuries caused by collisions with HGV’s have not reduced despite huge advances in driver warning systems.

Blindspots

In the UK between 2011 & 2016, 46% of cyclists killed or seriously injured were as a result of the cyclist being struck by a vehicle turning at a junction.

The Solution

AirBar is the only visual safety device that warns cyclists that a vehicle is turning left.
AirBars automatically deploys when the left indicator stalk is operated at under 15mph.
AirBar’s inflated flexible membrane looks like a physical barrier to a cyclist.
Flashing LEDs make AirBars highly visible both during the daytime and at night.
