Traffic Signals & Road MarkingsStandalone practice
An amber rectangular beacon is flashing rapidly at a marked crosswalk, and a pedestrian is crossing your path. What should you do?
Correct answer: Stop for the pedestrian and keep the crossing clear.
Why
Stop for a pedestrian at the activated rapid-flashing crossing beacon and wait until it is safe to proceed. Keep the crosswalk clear, check the full crossing and never pass a vehicle stopped for the pedestrian. The beacon does not grant an unconditional vehicle right-of-way when its flashing ends.
