About this asset

This Belisha Beacon is a Revit family component for site planning, featuring a iconic yellow globe atop a striped pole design. The Belisha Beacon consists of a classic high-visibility spherical yellow globe mounted on a slender vertical post. The pole features a distinct alternating white and black banded finish, typical of UK road safety infrastructure, transitioning into a solid black base section. The geometry is clean and simplified for efficient performance within a site model, maintaining accurate proportions for street-level context. This asset provides a clear, recognisable marker for pedestrian crossing areas, ensuring the necessary visual detail is present for urban design, traffic management plans, and external visualisation renders.

The download is a 276 KB file containing a Revit family (.rfa). Load it into a project from the Insert tab with Load Family, then place it like any other component of its category; it schedules and tags with the rest of your model.

In Revit, this family is intended for placement within site plans or 3D exterior environments. Users can load the component into the project and position it at street crossings or along footpaths using standard alignment tools. The model is lightweight, making it suitable for populating large urban scenes without significantly impacting project file size. Ensure the base is constrained to the site topography or finished ground level to maintain accurate vertical alignment within the master site model.

This asset is essential for professionals working on urban design, public realm projects, and civil infrastructure planning. It accurately represents pedestrian crossing safety features in residential and commercial streetscapes. Architects and landscape designers will find it useful during the masterplanning and detailed site design stages to clearly define crossing points. Search for this component when developing site context, traffic management strategies, or when refining the visual accuracy of external renders for planning applications and public consultation materials.
