The biggest threat to the nation isn t the prospect of a fourth wave of COVID-19 infections, the resurgence of mass shootings or even the looming eviction cliff that could push millions of Americans out of their homes later this year. Nope, the imminent danger to the American way of life comes from digital apps that allow people vaccinated against COVID-19 to attend a live concert, eat inside a restaurant or enjoy a tropical cruise.
At least that s what one could reasonably conclude from all the outrage emanating from conservative news outlets and politicians in recent days.

The city constructed a PHB (formerly known as a High Intensity Activated crossWalK (HAWK) ) system on mast arms over the Calle Real travel lanes at Kingston Avenue. The PHB system replaced the previous old-style yellow flashing beacons at this three-way intersection.
The PHB system is a hybrid of a flashing beacon and a traffic signal and is another federally approved MUTCD signal for pedestrian-actuated crosswalk enhancements. The PHB includes a signal face suspended above the roadway that has two red lenses above a single yellow lens.
The system remains dark until pedestrian-activated. When activated, the signal flashes yellow, then a steady yellow, followed by a steady red, and finally alternate flashing red lights. The primary benefit is the requirement for all vehicles to stop for the red light. Vehicles may proceed when the red light is flashing and it is safe to do so.
