§ 6-57 TRAFFIC-CONTROL SIGNAL LEGEND.
   Whenever traffic is controlled by traffic-control signals exhibiting the words “go,” “caution” or “stop,” or exhibiting differently colored lights, successively, one at a time, the following colors only shall be used; and such terms and lights shall indicate as follows.
   (a)   Green alone or “go”.
      (1)   Vehicular traffic facing the signal may proceed straight through or turn right or left unless a sign at such place prohibits either such turn. But vehicular traffic shall yield the right-of-way to other vehicles and to pedestrians lawfully within the intersection at the time such signal is exhibited.
      (2)   Pedestrians facing the signal may proceed across the roadway within any marked or unmarked crosswalk unless otherwise directed by pedestrian-control signals.
   (b)   Yellow alone or “caution” when shown following the green or “go” signal.
      (1)   Vehicular traffic facing the signal shall stop before entering the nearest crosswalk at the intersection; but if such stop cannot be made in safety, a vehicle may be driven cautiously through the intersection.
      (2)   Pedestrians facing such signal are thereby advised that there is insufficient time to cross a roadway, and any pedestrian then starting to cross shall yield the right-of-way to all vehicles.
   (c)   Red alone or “stop”.
      (1)   Vehicular traffic facing the signal shall stop before entering the nearest crosswalk at an intersection or at such other point as may be indicated by a clearly visible line, and shall remain standing until green or “go” is shown alone; however, except where prohibited by an appropriate sign, vehicular traffic, after coming to a full stop, may enter such intersection to make a right turn if such movement can be made in safety.
      (2)   No pedestrian facing such signal shall enter the roadway unless otherwise directed by a pedestrian-control signal.
   (d)   Red with green arrow.
      (1)   Vehicular traffic facing such signal may cautiously enter the intersection, only to continue movement in the direction indicated by such arrow, but shall not interfere with other traffic.
      (2)   No pedestrian facing such signal shall enter the roadway unless he or she can do so safely and without interfering with any vehicular traffic.
