An anti-collision warning system for intersections includes a vehicle sensor adapted to detect an approaching vehicle; two or more warning strips, which contain signal-activated warning lights and function as gentle, but effective, speed bumps to approaching vehicles; and a controller coupled to the sensor and to the warning strips. The system is internally and/or externally powered and can be installed in a warehouse, factory, or other venue having an intersection where a vehicle path meets a pedestrian path, or where two vehicle paths meet. An improved warning strip/speed bump, adapted for use in the anti-collision warning system, includes an elongate member, preferably trapezoidal in cross-section, with an elevated upper face or top, opposed first and second ramp faces that converge toward the upper face, and a bottom face; a pair of longitudinal channel in the bottom of the member; and a plurality of LEDs secured within the channels.
