Explanation
Pedestrian signals help control foot traffic at intersections and designated crossings. They indicate when it is safe for pedestrians to cross the street and when they must wait.
A white walking figure or the word “WALK” means pedestrians may begin crossing and have the right-of-way-drivers must yield to them. A red or orange raised hand or the words “DON’T WALK” signal that it is not safe to begin crossing. When the signal starts flashing, it means the time to cross is ending.
Pedestrians already in the crosswalk should quickly and safely finish crossing. Those still on the curb or sidewalk should wait until the next “WALK” signal before entering the roadway.
