New Signal Promotes Pedestrian Safety
The HAWK is coming to Salt Lake County.HAWK is an acronym for High-intensity Activated crossWalK. It’s a pushbutton-activated pedestrian signal designed to provide a way to increase pedestrian safety while reducing the amount of delay for vehicles.
Salt Lake County Public Works has installed a new HAWK on 4715 South at 4180 West in Kearns.
The signal has been installed to increase safety and assist pedestrians in crossing 4715 South.
Step by step, these types of signals function in the following way:
• A pedestrian presses the activator button when they want to cross
• The yellow lights will then turn on, warning motorists that a red
light will follow
• The red light turns on requiring all traffic to stop
• Pedestrians then cross the road
• After a short period of time, the red lights begin to flash indicating
motorists may proceed after stopping, if the crosswalk is clear
• No stopping is required when the lights are off
If the HAWK works in this location, Salt Lake County will use is at other locations where vehicular traffic and pedestrian traffic intersect.
