A pedestrian may enter an intersection during a "flashing don't walk" signal.

A pedestrian may not enter an intersection during a "flashing don't walk" signal. This signal indicates that the pedestrian should not begin crossing the street, as it is a warning that the signal will soon change to a steady "don't walk" or "stop." The flashing indication serves as a reminder for pedestrians who are already in the intersection to complete their crossing safely but discourages new crossings. Understanding the purpose of this signal is essential for pedestrian safety and ensuring compliance with traffic signals, thereby reducing the risk of accidents at intersections.
