A driver is stopped at a marked mid-block crosswalk equipped with a Pedestrian Hybrid Beacon (HAWK signal). The signal's dual red lights begin alternating in a flashing red sequence while a pedestrian is finishing crossing. What action is the driver legally required to take?
- Come to a complete stop, yield to any pedestrians in the crosswalk, and proceed once the crosswalk is clear.Cevap
- BRemain completely stopped at the line until all beacon lights turn off, even after pedestrians have cleared the crosswalk.
- CSlow down to check the crosswalk and proceed without coming to a full stop if no pedestrians remain in your lane.
- DTreat the flashing red signal as a warning light and proceed through the crosswalk at the posted speed limit.
Cevap
The driver must come to a complete stop, yield to any pedestrians in the crosswalk, and proceed once the crosswalk is clear.
During the alternating flashing red phase of a Pedestrian Hybrid Beacon, drivers must treat the light as a stop sign. Drivers are legally required to bring their vehicle to a complete stop, yield to any pedestrians in or entering the crosswalk, and may proceed once the crosswalk is completely clear.
