A driver approaches an intersection controlled by a Pedestrian Hybrid Beacon (HAWK signal). The signal sequence transitions from a solid red light to alternating flashing red lights while a pedestrian is currently walking across the far lane of the crosswalk. Which of the following describes the legally required action for the driver?
- Come to a complete stop, yield to all pedestrians in the crosswalk, and proceed with caution once the crosswalk is clear, even while the lights are still flashing red.Cevap
- BRemain completely stopped at the stop line until the beacon turns dark, regardless of whether the pedestrian has finished crossing.
- CTreat the alternating flashing red signal as a warning light, slowing down to scan for pedestrians without bringing the vehicle to a complete stop.
- DYield right-of-way by slowing down, stopping only if the pedestrian steps directly into the lane of travel.
Cevap
Come to a complete stop, yield to all pedestrians in the crosswalk, and proceed with caution once the crosswalk is clear, even while the lights are still flashing red.
When a Pedestrian Hybrid Beacon (HAWK signal) displays alternating flashing red lights, it functions identically to a stop sign. Drivers are legally required to bring their vehicle to a complete stop first. Once stopped, they must yield to any pedestrians in the crosswalk. After yielding and ensuring the crosswalk is clear, drivers may proceed even if the lights continue flashing red.
