crossing signals

Walk sign system

Crossing signals are the lights and sounds at intersections that tell pedestrians when it's safe to cross.

The familiar illuminated walk figure and raised hand, often accompanied by countdown timers or audio cues, coordinate foot traffic with vehicle signals.

Wait for the crossing signal before stepping into the street.
