Traffic Signals
Flashing Crosswalk Lights
Overhead or roadside amber lights flash when a pedestrian activates the crosswalk — you must stop and yield.
What This Sign Means
Pedestrian-activated flashing amber lights mark crosswalks on busier roads. When flashing, the crosswalk is in use.
What You Should Do
Stop before the crosswalk and remain stopped until the pedestrian has fully cleared your half of the road — and never pass a vehicle stopped at a crosswalk.
Knowledge Test Tip
Passing a vehicle stopped at a crosswalk is both illegal and a classic test question — the stopped car may be hiding a pedestrian.
