摘要：	Most communities safeguard vulnerable road users by investing a significant amount of resources into their pedestrian crosswalk and school zone safety systems. However, simply installing those systems is not enough. Communities must also protect their investments with preventative maintenance activities like electrical and mechanical inspections and routine system testing. Without that maintenance, safety systems could be damaged or even non-operational without local traffic safety professionals even knowing - until it's too late. Unsurprisingly, being proactive by conducting quality maintenance inspections and service work has multiple lifesaving and money-saving benefits. Maximum safety: When pedestrian crosswalk and school zone systems break down, the safety of all road users is at risk. Preventing breakdowns before they happen thereby protects lives and drastically reduces liability. Equipment lifecycle optimization: Taking care of a system's health through preventative maintenance ensures it operates smoothly for as long as possible, often years longer than it would without the right maintenance plan and execution. Less costly in the long run: Of course, a longer lifecycle means replacing systems far less often, which protects agencies' initial investments and saves money in the long run, so agencies can stretch their budget further.
