HAWK signal being installed at Fenton Street crosswalk by Whole Foods

A HAWK signal is being installed at a busy crosswalk on Fenton Street in downtown Silver Spring. There is already a crosswalk there outside the Whole Foods Market. The HAWK signal is placed at crosswalks that are not governed by traffic signals. They are normally dark and inactive until activated by a pedestrian, triggering a yellow-to-red cycle that stops automotive traffic.
