The flashing DON’T WALK signal for pedestrians is similar to a yellow light for vehicles. If a person has started to finish crossing a street and the flashing light appears, they will have time to cross the street. If the flashing DON’T WALK signal appears and a person has not started to cross the street, they should wait for the next WALK. At some intersections, the WALK signal will not appear unless the pedestrian push button is pushed.
