The signal remains dark until activated by a pedestrian. Traffic is permitted to flow through the crosswalk.


When a pedestrian presses the button, approaching drivers will see a flashing yellow signal for a few seconds, indicating that a pedestrian is preparing to use the crosswalk.


The solid yellow signal indicates that motorists should reduce speed and be prepared to stop.



The solid double red signal indicates drivers are required to stop and remain stopped.



The alternating double red signal indicates drivers are required to come to a complete stop, but may proceed when pedestrians have cleared the crosswalk and it is safe to proceed. The signal will then go dark until activated by a pedestrian.
