This new device is called a Pedestrian Hybrid Beacon (PHB), also commonly referred to as a “HAWK” signal. It is a traffic control device used to stop road traffic and allow pedestrians and bicyclists to cross safely. At a PHB, the beacon remains dark until the push button to cross is activated by a pedestrian or bicyclists intending to cross. Upon activation, the beacons begin flashing yellow, then steady yellow, then solid red. During the solid red phase, drivers must remain stopped while users cross from the side street. Prior to returning to dark, the beacons display an alternating flashing red “wig-wag” that allows drivers to stop and proceed when clear, as they would with a stop sign.

 

SLO Transit provides daily fixed-route transit service within the city limits of San Luis Obispo and Cal Poly. This program also operates the Old SLO Trolley which provides fixed-route service downtown and on upper Monterey on Thursdays, Fridays, and Saturdays depending on the time of year.
