How To Use A Pedestrian Hybrid Beacon - Animation

An animated video that shows drivers and pedestrians how to use a Pedestrian Hybrid Beacon (PHB), also known as a HAWK.

I think the alternating flashing red should be switched to a synced flashing red, since railroad crossings and school buses use alternating and that means stop. Flashing red beacon means stop then go

Every pedestrian corridors should have these...instead of just the signs and amber lights.

The music is too loud. It drowns out the voice of the narrator. Please remix it so the audience can follow the explanation. This is otherwise an excellent animation.

people ignore the Proceed on flashing red when clear making them wait till the hawk signal flashing red bulbs turn off.

I’ve been living for 26 years and I have yet to see a pedestrian hybrid beacon signal light, in the USofA.

Ridiculous! Standard red, green, yellow light above the road. Add pedestrian lights on either side of the road showing when it's safe to cross. No confusion.

The only place I have seen these is on the Dells Parkway.

I see more pedestrian accidents in Jacksonville Beach with these. Allowing traffic to proceed through a red-light means the boat load of entitled d bags will assume they can go without stopping.

Can anyone provide a good explanation why this weird double-red triangle arrangement is better than a standard green-yellow-red traffic light? It's exactly the same cost, and drivers actually know how to respond to it. It could be programmed with the same logic:

No pedestrians: green
Pedestrian presses button: yellow
Pedestrian crossing: red

I'd like to meet the genius who thinks this is a good idea...to my recollection, there has not been a pedestrian involved accident at this sight...I now predict that some poor child will be seriously injured or kid...at which point, we should prosecute that genius...

Overcomplicated. Either respect pedestrian priority or put a normal signals.
