When a pedestrian light starts flashing is it safe to cross?

When a pedestrian light starts flashing, it typically indicates that the "walk" signal is about to change to "don't walk," signaling that pedestrians should not enter the crosswalk. It is generally safer to wait until the light is solid green or the "walk" signal is displayed. If you're already in the crosswalk when the light starts flashing, you should continue to cross quickly and safely. Always be aware of your surroundings and any approaching vehicles.
