I really wish that the public here were more educated on HAWK signals. I've been stuck in rush hour traffic and it does not help when you still have motorists that treat alternating red on a HAWK signal as a red light instead of a stop sign, like how you're supposed to.

They would probably be better off installing normal GYR signals.

Some signalized pedestrian crosswalks do have GYR signals here! However, this is the more common route to signalizing pedestrian crossings here: https://youtu.be/nc_yTp0vpEY?t=20

There are a couple of crosswalks with GYR signals here in Toledo too. That doesn't sound like a bad idea! Detroit has some that have sensors.

Those do not have the strobing yellow LEDs, though.
