§ 9-8-050 — Special pedestrian-control signals

9-8-050 Special pedestrian-control signals.

Whenever special pedestrian-control signals are in place, such signals shall indicate as follows: (a) Walk or Symbolic Walk Figure. Pedestrians facing such signal indication when illuminated may proceed across the roadway in the direction of the indication and shall be given the right-of-way by the operator of any vehicle. When such signal indication is extinguished, no pedestrian facing the signal indication shall enter the roadway. (b) Don't Walk or Symbolic Don't Walk Figure. No pedestrian facing such signal indication which is illuminated or flashing shall start to cross the roadway in the direction of the indication; provided, however, any pedestrian who has partially completed his crossing on the "Walk" signal indication shall proceed to a sidewalk or safety zone while the "Don't Walk" signal indication is illuminated.
