Strobe light crosswalk signals, on Main and Park streets allow you to be seen. The signals should be used in tandem with STOP LOOK and WAVE practices.
The strobes alert drivers to the presence of a pedestrian wanting to cross the road and should be used at any time of the day or night.
They’re most effective from dusk to dawn and when it’s overcast.
STOP at the crosswalk
PUSH the button to activate the strobe lights
LOOK to make sure the vehicles have stopped
WAVE to acknowledge the drivers.
A special thanks to Jason Hoch ’95, Williamstown Town Manager and Ben Gips ’18 for making this pedestrian safety tool a reality.
