City Scene April 2017 New pedestrian traffic signal debuts Marysville drivers will see a new type of traffic signal this month on SR 528. Designed to provide safer pedestrian crossings in one of the city’s high-traffic areas, the new HAWK signal is located midway between Alder and Quinn avenues. HAWK stands for High-intensity Activated cross- WalK. When the signal is dark, traffic can proceed normally. When a pedestrian activates the signal, beacons sequence through flashing yellow, steady yellow and then red lights. Drivers must slow for yellow lights and stop for red ones. Treat flashing red lights like a stop sign; that is, each driver must stop and then may proceed after yielding to pedestrians in the crosswalk. This HAWK signal, the first of its kind in Marysville, was funded by a Community Development Block Grant. Similar signals are located in Mount Vernon and Edmonds. Know when to stop for school buses New Marysville school bus cameras are capturing photos of drivers who illegally pass school buses (when school bus lights or flashing or the stop bar is out) within the city limits. Violation is subject to $419 fine. To review when you’re required to stop, visit www.marysvillewa.gov/police.
