Why does the white WALKING PERSON indication turn off before I finish crossing the street?
There is a common misunderstanding that the WALKING PERSON indication should be displayed for the entire time required to cross the street. The WALKING PERSON light tells pedestrians that they may begin to cross. The pedestrian protection does not end when the WALKING PERSON light ends and the FLASHING HAND indication begins. The FLASHING HAND indication means to continue crossing if you have entered the cross-walk and do not begin to cross if you have not entered the crosswalk.
