A2: Street Crossing

By

The Michigan Dept. of Transportation has posted an information page on its website with details about the High-intensity Activated crossWalK (HAWK) signal to be installed at Huron and Chapin, near the YMCA building. From the site: “When you wish to cross the street, you push a button activating the HAWK signal. A flashing yellow light warns drivers approaching the crosswalk of a pedestrian wishing to cross. The flashing yellow light is followed by a solid yellow light telling drivers to prepare to stop. The signal then changes to a solid red for drivers to stop at the intersection.” The site includes a YouTube video of a similar signal in Portland. [Source]
