RRFB and HAWK Signals<\/strong><\/h2>\n

The City of Columbus recently installed several RRFB (Rectangular Rapid Flash Beacons) and HAWK (Pedestrian Hybrid Beacon) pedestrian signals.\u00a0 Both signals are activated by pedestrians\/bicyclists and use flashing lights to alert motorists when pedestrians and bicyclists intend to cross the street.\u00a0 But, what’s the difference between these signals?\u00a0 How do pedestrians and bicyclists use them and how should motorists respond?<\/p>\n
