Pilot program

Twelve weeks. One county. A rural stop-controlled intersection.

Apply Halestone to one priority intersection on your county's HSIP list. The pilot ships a single mast-top retrofit; the application below is the same one the Halestone team reads into the quote pipeline.

How piloting works

Three steps. Twelve weeks. One priority intersection.

The pilot is a low-friction engagement: one form below, one kit shipped to the intersection, and one short post-install report the HSIP narrative cites from.

  1. Step 01

    Apply with the form below

    Tell us the county, the priority intersection on the HSIP list, and one contact to reach. Submissions land in the same Halestone quote pipeline the procurement page feeds.

  2. Step 02

    Ship a single kit to the intersection

    Halestone ships a mast-top retrofit, an installation guide, a one-page torque spec sheet, and a printable field-installer checklist. Twelve weeks of edge-classified detection at the intersection, no cellular backhaul.

  3. Step 03

    Share the post-install data

    After twelve weeks the county reports the 5-year crash mix, a corroborated count of conflict events, and any change in Approach Speeds on the minor-road approach. Halestone consolidates the report into the HSIP narrative on /references.

Who's eligible

HSIP / federal safety-grant eligibility.

The pilot is calibrated to 23 U.S.C. § 148 — the Highway Safety Improvement Program — and to the rural stop-controlled emphasis area that grows out of each state's Strategic Highway Safety Plan.

The four eligibility lines
The HSIP language the SHSP emphasis area already covers — re-stated here as a check the county can run on the intersection the form picks.

  • A county or parish road authority operating on a federally-aided rural county road, or a state DOT district office with an HSIP-eligible site on a county collector.

  • An intersection on the submitting state’s HSIP list — the High-Risk Rural Roads / rural stop-controlled emphasis area that flows from 23 U.S.C. § 148 and the state Strategic Highway Safety Plan.

  • One priority intersection where a stop sign already stands without an active warning device. The pilot is the existing MUTCD R1-1 stop sign plus a Halestone clip-on retrofit, not a new intersection build.

  • A single county point of contact (a county engineer, a public-works director, or an HSIP coordinator) willing to log a 5-year crash mix and read the post-install conflict-event report back into the HSIP narrative on /references.

Application

Apply to the pilot program.

Five fields and a single submit. Submissions flow through the same /contact wire the procurement team reads; the trade-off of being a county engineer is the team on the receiving end.

Every submission lands on the same desk that handles the procurement intake. The Halestone team comes back with a per-intersection quote and a rough HSIP angle within a week.

Pilot intake form
Five fields. The form validates inline; nothing leaves the browser until you submit.

Your submission routes through the /api/contact wire the procurement team reads.
