Explanation
If pedestrians see a flashing “DON’T WALK” signal while approaching a crosswalk, they should not begin crossing. However, if they are already in the crosswalk when the signal begins flashing, they should continue crossing quickly and safely. Drivers must wait until the crosswalk is completely clear before proceeding-even if they have a green light.
Here’s a quick guide to pedestrian signals:
• WALK or Walking Person: You may start crossing the street (after ensuring traffic has stopped).
• Flashing DON’T WALK or Raised Hand: Do not begin crossing. If you are already in the crosswalk, finish crossing quickly.
• Solid DON’T WALK or Raised Hand: Do not leave the curb.
