The Village of LeRoy shall place and maintain
signs, signals and devices when and as required under the Traffic
Law of the Village to make effective the provisions of said laws and
may place and maintain such additional traffic control devices as
may be deemed necessary to regulate traffic under the traffic laws
of this Village or under state law or to guide or warn traffic.
Whenever traffic is controlled by traffic control
signals exhibiting the words "Go," "Caution" or "Stop" or exhibiting
arrows, the following colors only shall be used, and said terms and
lights shall indicate and apply to drivers of vehicles and pedestrians
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. Vehicular traffic, including vehicles turning right
or left, 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.
(2)
Pedestrians facing the signal may proceed across the
roadway within any marked or unmarked crosswalk.
B.
Steady yellow alone:
(1)
Vehicular traffic facing the signal is thereby warned
that the red or "stop" signal will be exhibited immediately thereafter,
and such vehicular traffic shall not enter or cross the intersection
when the red or "stop" signal is exhibited.
(2)
Pedestrians facing such signal are thereby advised
that there is insufficient time to cross the roadway, and any pedestrian
then starting to cross shall yield the right-of-way to all vehicles.
C.
Steady red alone or "Stop":
(1)
Vehicular traffic facing the signal shall stop before
entering the crosswalk on the near side of the intersection and shall
remain standing until green or "go" is shown alone.
(2)
No pedestrian facing such signal shall enter the roadway,
unless he can do so safely and without interfering with any vehicular
traffic.
Whenever an illuminated flashing red or yellow
signal is used in a traffic sign or signal, it shall require obedience
by vehicular traffic as follows:
A.
Flashing red (stop signal). When a red lens is illuminated
with rapid intermittent flashes, drivers of vehicles shall stop before
entering the nearest crosswalk at an intersection or at a limit line
when marked, or if none, then before entering the intersection, and
the right to proceed shall be subject to the rules applicable after
making a stop sign.
B.
Flashing yellow (caution signal). When a yellow lens
is illuminated with rapid intermittent flashes, drivers of vehicles
may proceed through the intersection or past such signal only with
caution.
A.
No person shall place, maintain or display upon or
in view of any highway an unauthorized sign, signal, marking or device
which purports to be or is an imitation of or resembles an official
traffic control device or sign or signal or which attempts to direct
the movement of traffic, or which hides from view or interferes with
the effectiveness of any official traffic control device or sign or
signal.
B.
Every such prohibited sign, signal or marking is hereby
declared to be a public nuisance, and the authority having jurisdiction
over the highway is hereby empowered to remove the same or cause it
to be removed without notice.
No person shall, without lawful authority, attempt
to or in fact alter, deface, injure, knock down or remove any official
traffic control device or any part thereof.
The Village of LeRoy shall have the authority
to declare any street or part thereof a play street and to place appropriate
signs or devices in the roadway indicating and helping to protect
the same.
The Village of LeRoy is authorized to:
A.
Designate and maintain, by appropriate devices, marks
or lines upon the surfaces of the roadway, crosswalks at intersections
where there is particular danger to pedestrians crossing the roadway
and at such other places as may be deemed necessary.
B.
Establish safety zones of such kind and character
and at such places as may be deemed necessary for the protection of
pedestrians.
A.
The Village of LeRoy is hereby authorized to mark
traffic lanes upon the roadway of any street or highway where a regular
alignment of traffic is necessary.
B.
Where such traffic lanes have been marked, it shall
be unlawful for the operator of any vehicle to fail or refuse to keep
the vehicle within the boundaries of any such lane except when lawfully
passing another vehicle or preparatory to making a lawful turning
movement.
