Crosswalk Safety

How to use a HAWK Signal?
HAWK Signal Operation Sequence (Driver Responsibilities)
Signal Activity Driver Responsibility
Dark Signal No action is required; no pedestrian activity.
Flashing Yellow A pedestrian has pressed the button and is waiting to cross. The driver may proceed, carefully observing the crosswalk area, in case pedestrians step out unexpectedly.
Solid Yellow Drivers should slow and, if able, stop safely; the HAWK signal is about to change to red and give the pedestrian the “WALK” sign.
Solid Red All vehicles are required to stop to allow pedestrians to cross.
Flashing Red Drivers may proceed, one at a time, if the crosswalk is clear of pedestrians.
Dark Signal The signal then goes back to dark until a pedestrian pushes the crosswalk button to restart the sequence.
