SAFETY WITH HAWK – The new HAWK system installed earlier this month at the intersections of US 191 and Tyler and Lake Avenues are designed to help pedestrians cross the highway safely when used correctly. It is essential that pedestrians remain on the sidewalk until they receive a WALK signal as traffic on US 191 does not come to a stop until the system is activated. The gap in mainline traffic actually helps drivers from the side streets as the drivers on the north side of the highway may make a right turn onto the highway after coming to a complete stop; to turn left, they must yield to oncoming traffic and any pedestrian in the crosswalk. Drivers on the south side of US 191 may make a left turn onto the highway after yielding to oncoming traffic and to make a right turn, they must yield to any pedestrian in the crosswalk.
