Whenever traffic is controlled by traffic-control signals exhibiting different colored lights, successively, one at a time, in combination or with arrows, the following colors only shall be used, and the lights shall indicate and apply to drivers of vehicles and pedestrians as follows.
(A) Green alone or "Go".
(1) Vehicular traffic facing the signal indication may proceed straight through or turn right or left unless a sign at the place prohibits either 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 the signal indication is illuminated.
(2) Pedestrians facing the signal indication may proceed across the roadway within any marked or unmarked crosswalk.
(B) Green with green arrow.
(1) Vehicular traffic facing the signal indication may proceed straight through or turn right or left unless a sign at the place prohibits either turn, but vehicular traffic within a lane designated and restricted as a turning lane only shall enter an intersection only to make the movement indicated by the arrow when it is illuminated and shall yield the right-of-way to pedestrians lawfully within a crosswalk and to other traffic lawfully using the intersection.
(2) Pedestrians facing the signal indications may proceed across the roadway within any marked or unmarked crosswalk.
(C) Yellow or "Caution" when shown with or following the green or "Go" signal.
(1) Vehicular traffic facing the signal shall stop before entering the nearest crosswalk at the intersection, but if the stop cannot be made in safety, a vehicle may be driven cautiously through the intersection.
(2) No pedestrian facing the signal indications shall enter the roadway until the green or "Go" signal indication is illuminated alone unless authorized so to do by a pedestrian "Walk" signal indication.
(D) Yellow or "Caution" when illuminated in combination with the red or "Stop" signal indication. Vehicular traffic facing the signal indications is thereby informed that the green or "Go" signal indication will be illuminated immediately thereafter and the vehicular traffic shall remain standing until the green or "Go" signal indication is illuminated alone.
(E) Red or "Stop".
(1) Vehicular traffic facing the signal indication shall stop before entering the intersection at a marking on the pavement indicating where the stop shall be made, but in the absence of any marking, shall stop at the signal device and shall remain standing until the green or "Go" signal indication is illuminated alone.
(2) No pedestrian facing the signal indication shall enter the roadway unless he or she can do so safely and without interfering with any vehicular traffic.
(F) Red with green arrow and green arrow alone.
(1) Vehicular traffic facing the signal indications may cautiously enter the intersection only to make the movement indicated by the arrow, but shall yield the right-of-way to pedestrians lawfully within a crosswalk and to other traffic lawfully using the intersection.
(2) No pedestrian facing the signal indications or indication shall enter the roadway until the green or "Go" signal indication is illuminated alone unless authorized so to do by a pedestrian "Walk" signal indication.
(G) Applicability. In the event an official traffic-control signal is erected and maintained at a place other than an intersection, the provisions of this section shall be applicable, except as to those provisions which, by their nature, can have no application. Any stop required shall be made at a sign or marking on the pavement indicating where the stop shall be made, but in the absence of any sign or marking, the stop shall be made at the signal.
