No person may so turn any vehicle without giving an appropriate signal in the manner hereinafter provided.

No person may stop or suddenly decrease the speed of a vehicle without first giving an appropriate signal in the manner provided in this title to the driver of any vehicle immediately to the rear when there is opportunity to give such a signal. The electric turn signal device required in this title must be used to indicate an intention to turn, change lanes or start from a parallel parked position but must not be flashed on one side only on a parked or disabled led vehicle or flashed as a courtesy of "do pass" signal to operators of other vehicles approaching from the rear.

Every vehicle operated in this Village shall be equipped with a stop lamp or lamps on the rear of the vehicle which shall display a red light visible from a distance of not less than five hundred feet (500') to the rear in normal sunlight, and which shall be actuated upon application of the service (foot) brake, and which may but need not be incorporated with the other rear lamps.
Every motor vehicle shall be equipped with an electric turn signal device which shall indicate the intention of the driver to turn to the right or to the left in the form of flashing lights located at and showing to the front and rear of the vehicle on the side of the vehicle toward which the turn is to be made. The lamps showing to the front shall be mounted on the same level and as widely spaced laterally as practicable and, when signalling, shall emit a white or amber light, or any shade of light between white and amber. The lamps showing to the rear shall be mounted on the same level and as widely, spaced laterally as practicable and, when signaling, shall emit a red light.
Every trailer and semi-trailer shall be equipped with an electric turn signal device which indicates the intention of the driver in the power unit to turn to the right or to the left in the form of flashing red lights located at the rear of the vehicle on the side toward which the turn is to be made and mounted on the same level and as widely spaced laterally as practicable.
Turn signal lamps must be visible from a distance of not less than three hundred feet (300') in normal sunlight.
The driver of a vehicle emerging from an alley, driveway or garage shall stop such vehicle immediately prior to driving onto a sidewalk, or across a sidewalk line projected across such alley, and shall exercise extreme care in driving upon said sidewalk or across such lines.
Excepting as otherwise herein provided, the driver of a vehicle approaching an intersection shall yield the right of way to a vehicle which has entered the intersection from a different highway; and when two (2) vehicles are entering an intersection from different highways at approximately the same time, the driver of the vehicle on the left shall yield the right of way to the vehicle on the right.
The driver of a vehicle within an intersection intending to turn to the left shall yield the right of way to any vehicle approaching from the opposite direction which is within the intersection or so close thereto as to constitute an immediate hazard, but said driver, having so yielded and having given a signal when and as required, may make such left turn and the drivers of all other vehicles approaching the intersection from said opposite direction shall yield the right of way to the vehicle making the left turn.
It shall be unlawful for the operator of any vehicle to turn left or right at any place where such turns are prohibited by ordinance. Such prohibition shall be indicated by appropriate signs. (Ord. 331, 10-16-68)
