A new pedestrian crossing signal is up and running on El Cajon Boulevard at Jessie Avenue in La Mesa. It's part of the city's Vision Zero policy, aimed at reducing pedestrian fatalities. It's called a HAWK: High Intensity Activated Crosswalk, and it talks to pedestrians when they push the crossing button, telling them to wait and the name of the street, El Cajon Boulevard. Drivers on the road will see a cluster three, red and yellow traffic lights. “Once the pedestrian activates a signal, the lights will turn to flashing yellow. And that's telling the driver to prepare to stop, slow down,” said Grecia Aguilar, a City of La Mesa spokesperson.
