Explanation
At many intersections, pedestrian signals include a countdown timer. The countdown begins when a flashing red upraised hand appears, signaling the DON’T START phase, and ends with a solid red hand, indicating the DON’T WALK phase. The numbers count down the seconds remaining to safely finish crossing the street.
Pedestrians who are already in the crosswalk when the countdown begins should continue crossing and complete it before the timer reaches zero. However, pedestrians still waiting on the curb should not begin crossing during the countdown period.
