Explanation
A HAWK (High-Intensity Activated Crosswalk) signal is a special pedestrian-activated traffic device designed to help people safely cross busy roads. When the HAWK signal is dark (solid black), it means the signal has not been activated, and drivers may proceed through the crosswalk as usual. Once a pedestrian pushes the button, the signal will cycle through yellow and red phases to alert drivers to stop and allow the pedestrian to cross safely.
