Explanation
A Pedestrian Hybrid Beacon (PHB) is used to help pedestrians cross safely while minimizing disruption to traffic. When the signal is flashing red, it means the pedestrian crossing phase is ending. Drivers must first come to a complete stop, then may proceed only if the crosswalk is clear. This phase allows traffic to resume once pedestrians have finished crossing. The beacon will then go dark until activated again.
