Beacon face with one dark yellow circle centered below two lit red circles

Both red lights of a hybrid beacon are steady. What are pedestrians doing?

  1. They wait, because the crossing is closed
  2. They clear the road before the beacon turns dark
  3. They walk across during the walk interval, so you must stop
  4. They cross only after you wave them on
Show answer

Correct answer: They walk across during the walk interval, so you must stop

Two steady red lights show while pedestrians cross. The pedestrian signal shows the walking person. A steady red light means stop.
