   402.171 HIGHWAY TRAFFIC SIGNAL.
   "Highway traffic signal"means a power-operated traffic control device by which traffic is warned or directed to take some specific action.  "Highway traffic signal" does not include a power-operated sign, steadily illuminated pavement markers, warning light, or steady burning electric lamp.  (ORC 4511.01(MMM))
   402.172 HIGHWAY TRAFFIC SIGNAL.
   "Highway traffic signal"means a power-operated traffic control device by which traffic is warned or directed to take some specific action.  "Highway traffic signal" does not include a power-operated sign, steadily illuminated pavement markers, warning light, or steady burning electric lamp.  (ORC 4511.01(MMM))
   402.18  INTERSECTION.
   "Intersection" means:
   (a)   The area embraced within the prolongation or connection of the lateral curb lines, or, if none, the lateral boundary lines of the roadways of two highways that join one another at, or approximately at, right angles, or the area within which vehicles traveling upon different highways that join at any other angle might come into conflict.  The junction of an alley or driveway with a roadway or highway does not constitute an intersection unless the roadway or highway at the junction is controlled by a traffic control device.
   (b)   If a highway includes two roadways that are thirty feet or more apart, then every crossing of each roadway of such divided highway by an intersecting highway constitutes a separate intersection.  If both intersecting highways include two roadways thirty feet or more apart, then every crossing of any two roadways of such highways constitutes a separate intersection.
   (c)   At a location controlled by a traffic control signal, regardless of the distance between the separate intersections as described in subsection (b) of this section:
      (1)   If a stop line, yield line, or crosswalk has not been designated on the roadway within the median between the separate intersections, the two intersections and the roadway and median constitute one intersection.
      (2)   Where a stop line, yield line, or crosswalk line is designated on the roadway on the intersection approach, the area within the crosswalk and any area beyond the designated stop line or yield line constitute part of the intersection.
      (3)   Where a crosswalk is designated on a roadway on the departure from the intersection, the intersection includes the area that extends to the far side of the crosswalk. 
(ORC 4511.01(KK))
   402.19  LANED STREET OR HIGHWAY.
   "Laned street or highway" means a street or highway the roadway of which is divided into two or more clearly marked lanes for vehicular traffic.
(ORC 4511.01(GG); 1964 Code Sec. 40.02)
   402.191 MEDIAN.
   "Median" means the area between two roadways of a divided highway, measured from edge of traveled way to edge of traveled way, but excluding turn lanes.  The width of a median may be different between intersections, between interchanges, and at opposite approaches of the same intersection. 
(ORC 4511.01(NNN))
   402.20  MOTORCYCLE.
   "Motorcycle" means every motor vehicle, other than a tractor, having a seat or saddle for the use of the operator and designed to travel on not more than three wheels in contact with the ground, including but not limited to, motor vehicles known as "motor-driven cycle," "motor scooter", “autocycle”, “cab-enclosed motorcycle” or "motorcycle" without regard to weight or brake horsepower. 
(ORC 4511.01(C))
   402.207 MOTORIZED WHEELCHAIR.
   "Motorized wheelchair" means any self-propelled vehicle designed for, and used by, a handicapped person and that is incapable of a speed in excess of eight miles per hour.
