Florida Grants for LED Stop Signs, School Zone & Pedestrian Safety (2025–2026)
Mike MadiaMunicipalities and schools across Florida have access to valuable grant programs that can help improve roadway and pedestrian safety. Whether your community is looking to install LED stop signs, flashing pedestrian crossings, or solar-powered school zone signs, funding is available right now.
At Alert Lighting Company, we design and supply MUTCD-compliant LED safety signs that fit perfectly within the scope of these programs. Below is a calendar of current Florida grant opportunities.
Florida Communities Already Making Roads Safer
Alert Lighting is proud to serve Florida municipalities committed to roadway safety. The City of Greenacres has installed our solar LED flashing stop signs to improve intersection safety. The City of New Smyrna Beach recently deployed four of our MUTCD-compliant pedestrian crossing signs to protect residents at high-traffic crosswalks. Communities in Northeast Florida are also using our flashing stop signs at key intersections.
These installations reflect the growing demand for compliant, durable, solar-powered safety signage across the state.

How These Programs Align With Alert Lighting Products
LED Stop Signs for High-Risk Intersections
HSIP and FDOT safety grants frequently fund LED stop signs at dangerous or high-crash intersections. Our signs are engineered for visibility, utilize durable solar and battery systems, and are MUTCD compliant.
Flashing School Zone Signs for Arrival and Dismissal Safety
Florida's SRTS program prioritizes safe student travel to and from school. Flashing school zone signs improve driver compliance during arrival and dismissal windows. We provide specifications and data you can use in your narrative to show safety impact.
Pedestrian Crossing Beacons and Visibility Enhancements
Both SRTS and FDOT pedestrian safety subgrants support pedestrian crossing beacons and enhanced signage to reduce conflicts at midblock crossings and near schools.
