Since the July 4 weekend, the pedestrian-activated crossing lights on Highway 89 at Camp Richardson were covered and deactivated following complaints of traffic delays.

Motorists were confused as the dark signals would start with a single flashing yellow to two alternating flashing red, and then solid red, then dark. This was instead of the familiar green-yellow-red sequence signal.

The existing two-color installation was reactivated this weekend with this added sign: “Proceed on flashing red after stop — yield to peds.”

A pedestrian button activates the signals within about 20 seconds.
