Pedestrian Hybrid Beacon (HAWK) on Point San Pedro Road

Description

Overview

Currently, pedestrians traveling between the north and south side of the intersection of Point San Pedro Road and Summit Ave, have to use a crosswalk that crosses 5 lanes of traffic.  Installation of a Pedestrian Hybrid Beacon, also called a High Intensity Activated CrossWalK (HAWK), at the intersection of Point San Pedro Road and Summit Ave, will provide an improved alert to vehicular traffic of pedestrians crossing, forcing vehicular traffic to slow down and stop while pedestrians are crossing the street.

Funding

Estimated project cost is $2M,  of which $1.8M is HSIP grant funded and the remainder will be funded from the County's Road and Bridge Fund.

Public impacts

During the construction phase, expect short delays between the hours of 8 am to 5 pm. There is a possibility of lane closures with traffic control measures in place.
