I thought that was going to be awesome because of the name. So disappointed lol.
For those who don’t know this name, even if you’ve seen it, here is an great discussion about it:

> No. During a flashing red, a driver may proceed if the pedestrian/bicycle rider has cleared their lanes of travel.
(And people are deeply confused about this: https://www.reddit.com/r/phoenix/comments/brqwbc/reminder_flashing_red_light_at_a_hawk_signal/ https://www.reddit.com/r/phoenix/comments/brqwbc/reminder_fl...)
> Drivers should always use caution while passing a HAWK signal as a pedestrian or bicyclist may fail to push the activation button and begin to cross.
How? What? Who designs things like this?
- pests 3y agoWait, I'm a little confused on the confusion. Are flashing reds not common? In my area a lot of lights switch to flashing red at night or just intersections will be flashing red (and flashing yellow opposite - one way stop signs) all the time. If I ever saw a flashing red I would know to treat it like a stop sign even at a foreign intersection. Or am I misunderstanding the HAWK system?
- windows2020 3y agoSingle flashing red = stop sign. Alternating flashing red (school busses and railroad crossings) = stop until signal goes out... except in case of HAWK.
- happytiger 3y agoPrecisely.
