(A) Whenever traffic is controlled by traffic-control signals exhibiting different colored lights or colored lighted arrows successively, one at a time or in combination, only the colors green, red, or yellow may be used, except for special pedestrian signals under IC 9-21-18.
(B) The lights indicate and apply to drivers of vehicles and pedestrians as follows:
(1) Green indication.
(a) Vehicular traffic facing a circular green signal may proceed straight through or turn right or left, unless a sign at the place prohibits either turn;
(b) Vehicular traffic, including vehicles turning right or left, shall yield right-of-way to other vehicles and to pedestrians lawfully within the intersection or an adjacent sidewalk at the time such signal is exhibited;
(c) Vehicular traffic facing a green arrow signal, shown alone or in combination with another indication, may cautiously enter the intersection only to make the movement indicated by the green arrow or other movement permitted by other indications shown at the same time;
(d) Vehicular traffic shall yield the right-of-way to pedestrians lawfully within an adjacent crosswalk and to other traffic lawfully using the intersection; and
(e) Unless otherwise directed by a pedestrian-control signal, pedestrians facing any green signal, except when the sole green signal is a turn arrow, may proceed across the roadway within a marked or unmarked crosswalk.
(2) Steady yellow indication.
(a) Vehicular traffic facing a steady circular yellow or yellow arrow signal is thereby warned that the related green movement is being terminated and that a red indication will be exhibited immediately thereafter; and
(b) Pedestrians facing a steady circular yellow or yellow arrow signal, unless otherwise directed by a pedestrian-control signal, are thereby advised that there is insufficient time to cross the roadway before a red indication is shown, and a pedestrian may not start to cross the roadway at that time.
(3) Steady red indication.
(a) Except as provided in division (B)(3)(b) and (d), vehicular traffic facing a steady circular red signal alone shall stop at clearly marked stop line. However, if there is no clearly marked stop line, vehicular traffic shall stop before entering the crosswalk on the near side of the intersection. If there is no crosswalk, vehicular traffic shall stop before entering the intersection and shall remain standing until an indication to proceed is shown;
(b) 1. Except when a sign is in place prohibiting a turn described in this subdivision, vehicular traffic facing a steady red signal, after coming to a complete stop, may cautiously enter the intersection to:
a. Make a right turn; or
b. Make a left turn if turning from the left lane of a one-way street into another one-way street with the flow of traffic.
2. Vehicular traffic making a turn described in this subdivision shall yield the right-of-way to pedestrians lawfully within an adjacent crosswalk and to other traffic using the inter- section.
(c) Unless otherwise directed by a pedestrian-control signal, pedestrians facing a steady circular red signal alone shall not enter the roadway.
(d) This provision does not apply to the operation of an autocycle. If the operator of a motorcycle, motor driven cycle, or bicycle approaches an intersection that is controlled by a traffic control signal, the operator may proceed through the intersection on a steady red signal only if the operator:
1. Comes to a complete stop at the intersection for at least 120 seconds; and
2. Exercises due caution as provided by law, otherwise treats the traffic control signal as a stop sign, and determines that it is safe to proceed.
(4) No indication or conflicting indications:
(a) Vehicular traffic facing an intersection having a signal that displays no indication or conflicting indications, where no other control is present, shall stop before entering the intersection; and
(b) After stopping, vehicular traffic may proceed with caution through the intersection and shall yield the right-of-way to traffic within the intersection, or approaching so closely as to constitute an immediate hazard.
(5) This section applies to traffic-control signals located at a place other than an intersection. A stop required under this subdivision must be made at the signal, except when the signal is supplemented by a sign or pavement marking indicating where the stop must be made.
(IC 9-21-3-7)
(C) The motorman of any street car shall obey traffic-control signals as applicable to vehicles.
(D) The following schedule of public ways, roadways, streets, and highways of the town upon which four-way automatic traffic-control devices at one or more of the intersections shall be placed where specifically designated, namely:
Wicker Ave. and W-133 Ave.;
Parrish Ave. and W-133 Ave.;
Morse St. and W-145 Ave.
(E) The following schedule of public ways, roadways, streets, and highways of the town upon which there is a railroad crossing, and where there exists automatic traffic-control devices at said crossing which require compliance by drivers or operators of vehicles shall be applicable where specifically designated, namely:
9400 Block W-137 Ave;
9400 Block W-141 Ave.;
9400 Block W-142 Ave.;
11000 Block W-129 Ave.
