I feel the need for speed

if two objects are moving at 0.5 the speed of light from a third stationary object, but in opposite directions. According to each two moving object, is the other moving object moving at the speed of light?
i belive they would look completely still to each other
or maybe they look like they are travelling at the speed of sound

If person A and B were the people travelling, A would think B looks completely still because the relative speed of B in A's point of view is 0 . 5 × 2 = 1 times the speed of light therefore the light never reaches A.
P.S. I'm not good are special relativity so if this explanation is wrong, let me know.
