• 2. Intersection Pedestrian Signal ("half signal")

Each of these options is discussed below.

Pedestrian Crossover

At a pedestrian crossover, vehicles are required to yield to pedestrians waiting to cross. For all but the lowest level of crossover, pushbutton-actuated flashing beacons are provided to alert drivers to pedestrians crossing or about to cross.
