§ 24-90. Pedestrian-control signal.

Whenever special pedestrian-control signals exhibiting the words "walk" or "don't walk" are in place, such signals shall indicate and require obedience as follows:

(1)

" Walk." Pedestrians facing such a signal may proceed across the roadway in the direction of the signal, within a marked crosswalk, if one exists, and shall be given the right-of-way by the drivers of all vehicles.

(2)

Flashing or "don't walk." No pedestrian shall start to cross the roadway in the direction of such signal, but any pedestrian who has begun his crossing on the "walk" signal may proceed to a sidewalk or designated pedestrian refuge area.

(3)

Steady "don't walk." No pedestrian shall leave the curb or start crossing the roadway in the direction of such signal.
