To ensure your safety when crossing the street at MLK Boulevard and Haddon Avenue, please see the tips below:
Steady “WALK” or a walking person symbol
- When a WALKsignal is displayed, all pedestrians facing that signal may begin crossing the street.
- Pedestrians have right-of-way under a WALK signal but must still exercise caution when crossing the street.
Flashing “WALK” or a walking person symbol
- A flashing WALKsignal indicates that the pedestrian crossing phase is nearing completion and a DON’T WALK sign will soon be displayed.
- Do not start crossing the street under a flashing WALK signal, as you may not have enough time to finish crossing safely. Some intersections use flashing DON’T WALKsignals to indicate the same transitional period, while others do not use flashing signals at all.
“DON’T WALK” or a flat hand symbol
- These traffic lights are generally orange with this warning. When a DON’T WALK or flat hand symbolis active, pedestrians may not cross the street.
- Pedestrians facing this signal light must wait on the sidewalk for a WALKsignal before proceeding.
