Iām happy to share that my team worked with LADOT Official to convert a rectangular rapid flash beacon to a new pedestrian hybrid beacon in Shadow Hills at the intersection of Wentworth Street and Wheatland Avenue to improve visibility and safety. This project is part of my broader effort to create safer streets in the 7th Council District. The pedestrian hybrid beacon, also known as a HAWK beacon, consists of yellow and red overhead lights, essentially first slowing traffic and then functioning as a red stoplight, at which point the pedestrian/equestrian can safely cross Wentworth.
If you have any questions or would like to learn more about other upcoming traffic safety improvements along this Wentworth corridor, and elsewhere in the area contact my Tujunga District Office at 818-352-3287
