Explanation
A Pedestrian Hybrid Beacon (PHB) consists of two red lights above a single yellow light. It remains dark until a pedestrian activates it by pressing the crosswalk button. Once activated, it goes through the following sequence:
1. Flashing yellow – Warns drivers to slow down and prepare to stop.
2. Solid yellow – Tells drivers to stop if it is safe to do so.
3. Two solid red lights – Require drivers to stop completely while the pedestrian crosses.
4. Two flashing red lights – Require drivers to stop, yield to pedestrians, and then proceed only if the crosswalk is clear.
Once the lights go dark again, normal traffic may resume.
