At a mid-block crosswalk, a beacon that was dark flashed yellow, showed steady yellow, then steady red, and you stopped. Now the red lights are flashing, and a pedestrian is still finishing the crossing. What should you do?
A is stopped before a marked mid-block crosswalk while B is still walking across its far half. A T-shaped pedestrian hybrid beacon has one upper red lamp lit with a flashing ring and the lower lamp dark; the card states that the red lamps now alternate after steady red.
Correct answer: Stay stopped until the pedestrian has cleared, then go after checking that the crosswalk is empty.
Why
A hybrid beacon stays dark until someone activates it, then flashes yellow and shows steady yellow and steady red so that traffic can stop. During steady red, stay stopped while people start to cross. The same kind of beacon is used where emergency vehicles leave a fire or rescue station.
