backup beeper

Vehicle retreat warning

A backup beeper is the warning device on vehicles that sounds when reversing, alerting pedestrians and workers to stay clear.

The repetitive beeping is standard on trucks, buses, and construction equipment: The backup beeper woke the whole neighborhood at 6 a.m.
