Explanation
A HAWK (High-Intensity Activated Crosswalk) signal is a pedestrian-activated beacon designed to help people cross busy streets safely. It consists of a single circular yellow light below two horizontally aligned circular red lights.
When the signal displays a solid red light, drivers must come to a complete stop, just like at a traditional traffic light. This indicates that pedestrians are actively crossing. Drivers must remain stopped until the crosswalk is clear.
When the signal begins to flash red, drivers must stop and yield to any pedestrians still in the crosswalk. If the crosswalk is clear, they may proceed with caution. Once the crossing is complete, the HAWK signal will return to dark and remain inactive until the next pedestrian activates it.
