Explanation
High-Intensity Activated Crosswalk (HAWK) signals are pedestrian-activated beacons designed to help people safely cross the road. When a pedestrian presses the button, the signal begins a sequence:
- A flashing yellow light warns drivers to slow down and prepare to stop, as a pedestrian has activated the signal. Drivers should approach at a speed that allows them to stop safely.
- A solid yellow light follows, indicating that the signal is about to turn red. This alerts drivers that they must stop.
- A solid red light then appears, requiring drivers to come to a complete stop while the pedestrian crosses.
- After the pedestrian crosses, the signal flashes red, during which drivers must stop and may proceed only if the crosswalk is clear.
Once the crossing is complete, the signal returns to dark and remains inactive until it is activated again.
