Where there are pedestrian indications, why is there not enough pedestrian walk time to cross the street?

0

For signalized pedestrian crossing approaches, the “Walk” or symbolic walking person indication will allow pedestrians to step off the curb to start their walk across the street. The flashing “Don’t Walk” or upraised hand indication is to warn pedestrians who have not yet entered the intersection that it is too late to safely get across the street before the traffic signal will change to allow vehicles to proceed. A steady “Don’t Walk” or upraised hand indication means you should not be in the intersection.
