Interesting... Not what you'd see here in North America, that's for sure. Here, it would either be displaying a steady green (or, for parts of Canada, a flashing green) at all times, or in a yellow flash mode, until someone depressed the ped button.

Pretty cool! Love different traffic light stuff like this!

We have a signal set up just like this for pedestrians in Greenville, SC USA... no cross st. signals... just signals set up like you see here, and they just stay green all of the time, and then go to yellow, then to red, and then it kicks the peds to WALK, and then DW, then back to GREEN REST until the next time it is needed.

The first purpose manufactured crossings over here were Forest City in 1929 and ran exactly like this only without the blackout, which I believe in only inserted during certain times of the day?

Of course, all our non-pelican (as these have a flashing amber after the red) crossings now work like this and ofc pedestrian dependant.

Not legal in the United States.

A dark signal has to be bagged or removed when not lit up!! :bye:

Here in Ontario, a "blank" signal must be treated like a stop sign. Stop, check and go.

Take a look at these signals in Tucson, AZ...

These signals stay dark until a pedestrian pushes the button.

That link will give you all of the info you need. The HAWK crossings used to be experimental, but now they're all over Tucson. They replaced the old style pedestrian crossing signals that simply used flashing yellow beacons to warn motorists of crossing pedestrians. These installations used to have signs that said something like "STOP FOR PEDESTRIANS WHEN FLASHING". However, the yellow beacons were never all that effective at stopping traffic (gee I wonder why

), so they came up with the HAWK system. The HAWK signals may look funky, but they do work very well.
