Traffic Signals & Road MarkingsStandalone practice
At a crosswalk with no traffic light, an overhead beacon has two red lights side by side above one yellow light. You stopped when both red lights were steady. Now the two red lights flash one after the other, and the crosswalk is clear. What may you do?
A has stopped before an empty crosswalk. An enlarged beacon detail shows its two upper red lights alternating in successive views.
Correct answer: Go with caution, because the crosswalk is now clear
Why
These pedestrian hybrid beacons are used at crosswalks without a traffic signal. A pedestrian starts the sequence: flashing yellow, then steady yellow (prepare to stop), then steady red (stop while people cross), and then red lights that flash in turn. Always check that no one is still in the crosswalk before you move.
