Zorluk: OrtaPedestrian and Bicycle Signals and Markings

A driver is approaching a mid-block pedestrian crosswalk equipped with a Pedestrian Hybrid Beacon (HAWK signal). The beacon transitions into a phase where the two top red lights flash alternately. Which requirement applies to motorists in this situation?

  1. Drivers must come to a complete stop, yield to any pedestrians in the crosswalk, and may proceed once the crosswalk is clear.Cevap
  2. B
    Drivers must remain completely stopped until all lights on the beacon turn off entirely, regardless of pedestrian presence.
  3. C
    Drivers may slow down and proceed without coming to a complete stop if no pedestrians are observed in the crosswalk.
  4. D
    Drivers should maintain standard speed while sounding their horn to alert pedestrians on the curb.

Cevap

Drivers must come to a complete stop, yield to any pedestrians in the crosswalk, and may proceed once the crosswalk is clear.
During the alternating flashing red phase of a Pedestrian Hybrid Beacon, drivers are legally required to bring their vehicle to a complete stop. Once stopped, drivers must yield right-of-way to any pedestrians crossing. If the crosswalk is completely clear, motorists may proceed without waiting for the lights to turn off.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Identify the signal type and phase.
The device is a Pedestrian Hybrid Beacon exhibiting alternating flashing red lights.
The alternating flashing red phase is the clearance interval following the solid double red phase.
2
Apply the traffic control rule for flashing red lights at a hybrid beacon.
Drivers must come to a complete stop at the stop line or crosswalk.
Flashing red lights carry the legal weight of a Stop sign.
3
Determine the right-of-way procedure before moving forward.
Yield to any pedestrians remaining in or entering the crosswalk, then proceed when safe.
Unlike a solid red light, the flashing red phase allows traffic flow to resume once pedestrian safety is assured.
