The HAWK has officially landed in Little Five Points. A HAWK beacon or High-Intensity Activated crossWalK beacon, a traffic control device used to stop road traffic and allow pedestrians to cross safely will make crossing Moreland easier, according to a press release.
Officially known as a Pedestrian Hybrid Beacon, the HAWK signal on Moreland near the Vortex, Junkman’s daughter and Wish Gallery will make that area safer for foot traffic. To use the HAWK Beacon, push the cross button and wait for the traffic to stop. Cross safely.
