You are driving on a multi-lane street and approach a crosswalk equipped with a Pedestrian Hybrid Beacon (HAWK signal). The beacon sequence shifts from a solid red light to alternating flashing red lights while a pedestrian is walking across the far side of the crosswalk. Under standard traffic regulations, what action is the driver legally required to take?
- ATreat the signal as a flashing yellow light by slowing down and proceeding through the crosswalk without stopping if the pedestrian is not in your lane.
- Come to a complete stop, yield right-of-way to any pedestrians in the crosswalk, and proceed once the crosswalk is clear and it is safe to do so.Cevap
- CRemain completely stopped at the limit line until all beacon lights turn off entirely, regardless of whether the crosswalk is clear.
- DSlow down to yield right-of-way, but a complete stop is not mandatory because the light has changed from solid red to flashing red.
Cevap
Come to a complete stop, yield right-of-way to any pedestrians in the crosswalk, and proceed once the crosswalk is clear and it is safe to do so.
During the flashing red phase of a Pedestrian Hybrid Beacon (HAWK signal), the signal functions like a stop sign. Drivers must bring their vehicle to a complete stop at the limit line or crosswalk, yield to any pedestrians crossing, and may proceed once the crosswalk is clear, even if the flashing red lights have not yet turned off completely.
