Why does the orange flashing hand appear before I have finished crossing the street?
The FLASHING HAND is a warning to people who have not entered the intersection that it is too late to begin to cross. Pedestrians who have already started to cross should finish crossing the street. The timing of the WALK PERSON and FLASHING HAND is adequate for pedestrians to safely cross the street.
