NORTH BEACH & SURF CITY TRAFFIC LIGHT
It is called a Hawk system and it remains dark during periods of inactivation. It lights up when a pedestrian pushes the button to cross. The lights will flash yellow, then switch to solid yellow to let vehicles know that the signal will be changing. It then changes to a solid red light - this is the period when the pedestrian is legally permitted to cross and vehicles must stop! After a designated amount of time, the lights will begin to flash red; once the pedestrian has crossed safely, cars may proceed with caution.
