A driver is traveling along an urban roadway and approaches a marked mid-block crosswalk equipped with a Pedestrian Hybrid Beacon (HAWK signal). As the driver approaches, the beacon light transitions from a flashing yellow indicator to a solid steady yellow light while the vehicle is at a safe distance to stop. What is the driver legally required to do upon observing the solid steady yellow signal?
- Prepare to stop completely before the crosswalk line, because the solid yellow signal indicates that a solid red light phase requiring a mandatory stop is imminent.Cevap
- BTreat the signal as an active stop sign immediately, making a complete stop and then proceeding past the crosswalk after yielding to pedestrians.
- CSlow down slightly and proceed through the crosswalk with caution without stopping, treating the steady yellow light as an advisory warning marker.
- DMaintain posted speed or accelerate slightly to clear the crosswalk area before pedestrians are granted the right-of-way.
Cevap
Drivers facing a solid steady yellow signal on a Pedestrian Hybrid Beacon must prepare to stop completely before the crosswalk line, as the signal is transitioning to a solid red phase requiring a full stop.
The correct answer states that drivers must prepare to stop completely before the crosswalk line when facing a solid steady yellow Pedestrian Hybrid Beacon signal, because this phase directly precedes a solid red light that requires all motor vehicle traffic to stop for crossing pedestrians.
