The city is currently installing a series of High Activated crossWalKs, more commonly referenced as HAWK signals. These signals are designed to notify drivers of an impending or current pedestrian crossing the street, directing the driver to stop or yield.
HAWK signals are traffic signals that allow pedestrians to cross the road safely. HAWK signals operate in a YELLOW–RED–FLASHING RED sequence to alert motorists that pedestrians need to cross the road.
Unlike traffic signals, the HAWK only operates when a pedestrian pushes the crossing button. Vehicles are free to move when no one is crossing the street.
Motorists should respond to yellow and solid red lights in the same manner as any other traffic signal. After stopping for the red light, motorists may proceed through the crossing area during the flashing red light interval only when safe to do so without risk to pedestrians.

The pedestrian the signal works similarly to other push-button-activated traffic signals in the city.
Lights on the HAWK signal are activated when a pedestrian pushes the button at either end of the crossing.
