Explanation
If pedestrians approach a crosswalk and see a flashing “DON’T WALK” signal, they should not begin crossing. However, if they are already in the crosswalk when the signal starts flashing, they should continue crossing quickly and safely.
Drivers must always wait until the crosswalk is completely clear before proceeding-even if they have a green light. Pedestrian safety should always be a top priority.
