The text
Whenever traffic is controlled by traffic control signals exhibiting the word "go," "caution," or "stop," or exhibiting different colored lights successively one at a time, or with arrows, the following colors only shall be used and such terms and lights shall indicate and apply to drivers of vehicles and pedestrians as follows: (1)
Green alone or "go."
a.
Vehicular traffic facing the signal may proceed straight through or turn right or left unless a sign at such place prohibits either such turn, but vehicular traffic, including vehicles turning right or left, shall yield the right-of-way to other vehicles and to pedestrians lawfully within the intersection or an adjacent crosswalk at the time such signal is exhibited.
b.
Pedestrians facing the signal may proceed across the roadway within any marked or unmarked crosswalk.
(2)
Yellow alone or "caution" when shown following green or "go" signal.
a.
Vehicular traffic facing the signal shall stop before entering. A red or "stop" signal will be exhibited immediately thereafter and such vehicular traffic shall not enter or be crossing the intersection when the red or "stop" signal is exhibited.
b.
Pedestrians facing such signal are thereby advised that there is insufficient time to cross the roadway, and any pedestrian then starting to cross shall yield the right-of-way to all vehicles.
(3)
Red alone or "stop."
a.
Vehicular traffic facing the signal shall stop before entering the crosswalk on the near side of the intersection, or, if none, then before entering the intersection, and shall remain standing until the green or "go" signal is shown alone, and shall not prior to reaching such intersection make any turn over or through private property in order to avoid such signal; provided, however, a righthand turn shall be permitted after vehicular traffic reaches a complete stop at intersections when safety would permit such a turn and no sign forbids it.
b.
No pedestrian facing such signal shall enter the roadway unless he/she can do so safely and without interfering with any vehicular traffic.
