A method for broadcasting a user's location to vehicle operators using wireless communication makes use of a system that includes a portable beacon and multiple vehicles. The portable beacon is a mobile transmitter that broadcasts a desired message. Each of the vehicles is equipped with a wireless receiver and an alert device. The wireless receiver is capable of deciphering the broadcast from the portable beacon. The alert device is used to alert the operator of a vehicle that there is a nearby pedestrian. The method is initiated by prompting the user to activate the primary proximity alert message with the portable beacon. The portable beacon, then continuously broadcasts the alert message. The alert message is subsequently received by the wireless receiver. Finally, the alert message is output to the operator of a vehicle that is located within a predefined distance from the portable beacon.
