Whenever special pedestrian-control signals exhibiting the terms “walk” or “don’t walk,” or exhibiting the symbol of a walking person or an upraised hand are in place, the signals shall take precedence over pedestrian movements. The signals shall indicate the following.
(A) Pedestrians facing a steady “walk” indication or a symbol of a walking person may proceed across the road in the direction of the signal and shall be given the right-of-way by the drivers of all vehicles.
(B) No pedestrian shall start to cross the roadway in the direction of a “don’t walk” indication or a symbol of an upraised hand, but any pedestrian who has partially completed the crossing on the “walk” or walking person indication shall immediately proceed to the nearest sidewalk or safety island.
