What is the signal that indicates it is safe to cross a street as a pedestrian?
The WALK signal and the green traffic light indicate that it’s your turn to cross the street, but they do NOT mean it is SAFE to cross. The WALK signal and the GREEN light mean LOOK, and then, if it’s safe, go. Remember to make eye contact with drivers to ensure they see you.
Which lights tell the pedestrians What to do?
In most states, the WALK signal used at pedestrian crossings is white. When this signal light is displayed, all pedestrians facing that signal may begin crossing the street. Pedestrians have right-of-way under a WALK signal but must still exercise caution when crossing the street.
What color are pedestrian lights?
Solid green light

If the traffic light does change, the driver must stop before the intersection if it can be done safely.
