Pedaling the Pueblo – Watching Over Pedestrians, Like a HAWK
Tucson is famous for lots of things: the stately Saguaro cactus, Sonoran-style hot dogs, and the HAWK crossing, or High intensity Activated crossWalK. You’ve seen HAWK crossings all over town, and have likely used one yourself to get across a major arterial street, but did you know the inventor of the HAWK crossing, Dr. Richard Nassi, has been living right here in Tucson for over 30 years and developed these crosswalks which have now been adapted for use throughout the United States and the world?
Join us in this episode as we dive into the history behind the HAWK’s development and learn about other types of crossing assistance, also in use in and developed for Tucson.
