Zorluk: ZorPedestrians and Crosswalk Safety

You are driving on a multi-lane city street and approach a Pedestrian Hybrid Beacon (HAWK signal) where the two top lights are currently flashing red. A pedestrian has finished crossing your lane and is walking away on the opposite side of the median. What is the legally required driving action in this scenario?

  1. Come to a complete stop, yield to any remaining pedestrians in the crosswalk, and proceed with caution once the crosswalk is clear.Cevap
  2. B
    Remain stopped at the stop line without moving until all beacon lights turn off completely.
  3. C
    Slow down and yield right-of-way, but proceed through the crosswalk without bringing your vehicle to a complete stop.
  4. D
    Change into an open adjacent lane and pass any stopped vehicles without stopping as long as your lane is clear.

Cevap

Come to a complete stop, yield to any remaining pedestrians in the crosswalk, and proceed with caution once the crosswalk is clear.
During the flashing red phase of a Pedestrian Hybrid Beacon, drivers must treat the signal like a stop sign: bring the vehicle to a complete stop, yield to any pedestrians in or approaching the crosswalk, and proceed with caution once the crosswalk is completely clear.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Identify signal phase rules
Recognize that two flashing red lights at a Pedestrian Hybrid Beacon carry the same legal requirement as a stop sign.
Traffic laws dictate a mandatory full stop at flashing red signals.
2
Check crosswalk safety
Ensure no pedestrians are present or stepping into your travel path.
Pedestrians retain right-of-way in marked crosswalks until completely clear.
3
Proceed safely
After bringing the vehicle to a complete stop and verifying the crosswalk is clear, proceed carefully.
Unlike a solid red light, a flashing red beacon permits proceeding after stopping and yielding.
