The city of Tucson, AZ, developed the High intensity Activated crossWalK (HAWK) pedestrian crossing beacon in the late 1990s to assist in pedestrian crossings, especially at major arterials with minor street intersections. Previous research found driver yielding percentages above 95 percent for the HAWK treatment, even on major streets with multiple lanes or higher speeds. Because of the limited number of treatments with high yielding rates for major arterials, the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) sponsored this current study to evaluate the safety effectiveness of the HAWK device. This TechBrief provides a summary of the research findings, while the corresponding main technical report (FHWA-HRT-10-042) provides additional details.
