Did You Know?
High-Intensity Activated Crosswalk (HAWK) Signal
The HAWK signal is designed to aid pedestrians when crossing at a mid-block crosswalk. Operationally, the HAWK signal rests in a dark state, allowing normal traffic flow until a pedestrian activates it. When a pedestrian presses the button, approaching drivers will see a flashing yellow signal indicating they should reduce speed and be prepared to stop for pedestrians. The signal then changes to a solid yellow, then a solid red light indicating for drivers to stop. Once the dual red lights begin flashing alternately, vehicles must stop for pedestrians but are permitted to proceed if there are no pedestrians in the crosswalk. LEARN MORE
