Whenever traffic controlled by traffic-control signals exhibiting
different colored lights successively or with arrows, the following
colors only shall be used, and said lights shall indicate and apply
to drivers of vehicles and, except where superseded by pedestrian
control signals, shall also apply to pedestrians, as follows:
A. Green alone:
(1) Vehicular traffic facing such signal may proceed straight through
or turn right or left unless a sign at such place prohibits either
such turn, but 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 such signal may proceed across the roadway within
any marked or unmarked crosswalk.
B. Steady yellow alone:
(1) Vehicular traffic facing such signal is thereby warned that the red
signal will be exhibited immediately thereafter, and such vehicular
traffic shall not enter or be crossing the intersection when the red
signal is exhibited.
(2) No pedestrian facing such signal shall enter the roadway.
D. Steady red alone:
(1) Vehicular traffic facing such signal shall stop before entering the
crosswalk on the near side of the intersection or, if none, then before
entering the intersection, and shall remain standing until an indication
to proceed is shown.
(2) No pedestrian facing such signal shall enter the roadway.
E. Steady red with green arrow, steady yellow with green arrow, or green
arrow alone:
(1) Vehicular traffic facing such signal may cautiously enter the intersection
only to make the movement indicated by such arrow, but shall yield
the right-of-way to pedestrians lawfully within a crosswalk and to
other traffic lawfully using the intersection.
(2) No pedestrian facing such signal shall enter the roadway unless he
can do so safely and without interfering with any vehicular traffic.
Vehicular traffic shall obey signs requiring obedience to traffic-control
signals at intersections other than those at which such signals are
located. No intersection not controlled by such signs prior to the
effective date of this article shall hereafter be made subject to
such method of control, and no ordinance, order, rule or regulation
requiring such obedience shall hereafter be adopted.
In the event an official traffic-control signal is erected and
maintained at a place other than an intersection, the provisions of
this section shall be applicable, except as to those provisions which,
by their nature, can have no application. Any stop required shall
be made at a sign or marking on the pavement indicating where the
stop shall be made, but in the absence of any such sign or marking,
the stop shall be made at the signal.
As used in this article, the following terms shall have the
meanings indicated:
TRAFFIC-CONTROL SIGNALS
Such control signals as are erected under order of the State
Traffic Commission or the Board of Trustees of the Village of Brockport,
New York.
Any person violating the provisions of this article shall be
subject to those penalties prescribed in Sections 4 and 5 of the Main
Artery Street Ordinance, dated June 2, 1941, prescribing the penalties for the violation thereof, it
being the intent to make the penalties identical.
