If you’re driving on five-lane South Main Street near campus later this year and a HAWK stops you to let some Eagles walk across, it will be the result of the city of Statesboro and Georgia Southern University, together, trying to prevent a tragedy. Eagles here are GSU students, of course. The less-familiar HAWK is a contrived acronym for High-intensity Activated CrossWalK. To pedestrians, the HAWK system will present a pair of those push-button crosswalk signals that count down the seconds while it’s still OK to cross.
