Sarasota Installs High-Intensity Activated Crosswalk on 1st

Government

A new pedestrian-activated crosswalk signal on U.S. 41 is now active, providing improved safety and walkability for downtown residents and visitors. The High-Intensity Activated Crosswalk (HAWK) signal at U.S. 41 and First Street provides protected pedestrian crossings, stopping traffic on demand as needed. Once activated, a solid red indication is provided to motorists directing them to stop. The solid red indication advances to a flashing red that allows motorists to proceed with caution. The City of Sarasota collaborated with the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT), which completed the installation and activated the signal Thursday.
