Traffic shall be directed by officers of the Police Department by voice, hand or mechanical signal or shall be directed by automatic signal; but such officers or signal shall not prevent any one from proceeding or standing in the manner required or permitted by law; provided, however, that in case of fire, or other emergency or in case of a parade or other concourse of people, traffic may be directed as conditions may require, notwithstanding the provisions of this ordinance. It shall be a violation of this ordinance for any person to disobey or refuse to comply with any lawful order, signal, or direction of a police officer, or any signal from an automatic signaling device pertaining to the control of traffic.
