(A) (1) Whenever traffic at an intersection is controlled by traffic-control signals exhibiting colored lights or the words “go,” “caution” and “stop.”
(2) The lights and terms shall indicate as follows:
(a) Green or “go.” Traffic facing the signal may proceed, except that vehicular traffic shall yield the right-of-way to pedestrians and vehicles lawfully within a crosswalk or the intersection at the time the signal was exhibited.
(b) Yellow or “caution.” When shown alone following the green or “go,” traffic facing the signal shall stop before entering the nearest crosswalk at the intersection unless so close to the intersection that a stop cannot be made in safety.
(c) Red or “stop.” Traffic facing the signal shall stop before entering the nearest crosswalk at the intersections or at other point as may bb designated and remain standing until green or “go” is shown alone.
(B) The operator of a vehicle (or bus) intending to turn to the left at an intersection where traffic is controlled by traffic-control signals or by a police officer shall proceed to make the left turn with proper garb to avoid accident and only upon the “go” signal unless otherwise directed by a police officer.
