A. Whenever traffic is controlled by official traffic control signs exhibiting the words "Go", "Caution" or "Stop", or exhibiting different colored lights successively, one at a time, or with arrows, the following colors only shall be used, and such terms and lights shall indicate and apply to drivers of vehicles and pedestrians as follows:
1. Green Alone Or Go:
a. Vehicular traffic facing the signal shall proceed, except that vehicular traffic shall yield the right of way to other vehicles and to pedestrians lawfully within the intersection or an adjacent crosswalk at the time such signal is exhibited.
b. No pedestrian facing such signal shall enter the roadway until green or "Go" is shown alone.
2. Yellow Or Caution When Shown Following Green Or Go Signal:
a. Vehicular traffic facing the signal shall proceed, except that vehicular traffic shall yield the right of way to other vehicles and to pedestrians lawfully within the intersection or an adjacent crosswalk at the time such signal is exhibited.
b. No pedestrian shall enter the roadway or cross any part of the roadway or from or to a safety zone against a yellow or "Caution" signal.
3. Red Alone Or Stop: Vehicular traffic facing the signal shall stop before entering the crosswalk on the near side of the intersection or, if none, then before entering the intersection, and shall remain standing until green or "Go" is shown alone, except that traffic may turn right after coming to a complete stop and providing to do so does not endanger pedestrians in the crosswalk.
4. Red With Green Arrow: Vehicular traffic facing such signal may cautiously enter the intersection only to make the movement indicated by such arrow but shall yield the right of way to pedestrians lawfully using the intersection.
B. The driver of a vehicle intending to turn right or left at an intersection where traffic is controlled by traffic control signs or by a police officer shall proceed to make either turn with proper care to avoid accident and only upon the "Go" signal, unless otherwise directed by a police officer or by official traffic signs, or unless authorized by this title.
C. No person shall disobey the directions of this section except when it is necessary for the purpose of avoiding a collision or in case of other emergency or when otherwise directed by a police or traffic officer, or as permitted under section 6-2-1-4 of this chapter. (Ord. 12, 8-16-1984)
