Motorists are advised that starting tonight, Wednesday, June 24, at approximately 9 p.m., the new pedestrian hybrid beacon located just east of Waverly Avenue on State Road 80 (Palm Beach Boulevard) is to become fully operational to pedestrians and motorists.<\/p>\n
The pedestrian hybrid beacon is a traffic control device designed to help pedestrians safely cross higher-speed roadways at midblock crossings and uncontrolled intersections. The beacon head consists of two red lenses above a single yellow lens. The lenses remain \u201cdark\u201d until a pedestrian desiring to cross the street pushes the call button to activate the beacon, which then initiates a yellow to red lighting sequence consisting of flashing and steady lights that directs motorists to slow and come to a stop, and provides the right-of-way to the pedestrian to safely cross the roadway before going dark again.<\/p>\n
Drivers are advised to exercise caution following this transition period. For more information and facts about Pedestrians Hybrid Beacons, please visit 446266-1 SR 80 from Veronica Shoemaker Boulevard to Kingston Drive.<\/p>\n
