The City of Savannah has installed two types of pedestrian signals at non-signalized intersections around our community.
- Rapid Flashing Beacons
- High-intensity Activated crossWalK (H.A.W.K.) signals
It's important for both pedestrians and drivers to follow the signal directions for everyone's safety.
Drivers:
- Stay alert to your surroundings, be ready to stop
- Slow down! Higher speeds equal higher risk of a fatality with a pedestrian involved traffic accident
- Be responsive to the directions of any traffic/pedestrian signals
- Always wait for pedestrians to completely cross safely before proceeding
Pedestrians
- When these signals are available, please use them for your safety
- After you push the button and the signal is activated, always wait for traffic to come to a complete stop
- Acknowledge the stopped drivers and remember to look both ways before crossing safely
