the direction of lawful traffic movement shall be placed at every
intersection where movement of traffic in the opposite direction is
prohibited.
The Traffic Engineer 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 street.
The Traffic Engineer is hereby authorized:
(a) To designate and maintain, by appropriate devices, marks, or lines
upon the surface of the roadway, crosswalks, at intersections where,

the roadway, and at such other places as he may deem necessary.
(b) To establish safety zones of such kind and character and at such
places as he may deem necessary for the protection of pedestrians.

entirely within a single lane. Such vehicle shall not be moved from
the lane unless done with safety and without irregular movement.
(c) Keeping to right. Upon any highway or roadway other than any one-way
roadway, the driver of a vehicle shall keep as near to the right-hand

Such overtaking and passing shall be subject to the limitations applicable
by law to overtaking and passing. The driver of a vehicle shall also
proceed to the right of a traffic island in the road unless signs
designate otherwise.

to be traveled by turning vehicles; no driver of a vehicle shall disobey
the directions of the indications.

traffic signals so as to permit the movement of traffic in an orderly
and safe manner at speeds slightly at variance from the speeds otherwise
applicable within the district or at intersections and shall erect

sign.
The Traffic Engineer is hereby authorized to determine and designate
by proper signs places not exceeding 100 feet in length in which the
stopping, standing, or parking of vehicles would create an especially
hazardous condition or would cause unusual delay to traffic.
The Traffic Engineer is hereby authorized and required to establish
bus stops, bus stands, taxicab stands and stands for other passenger
common carrier motor vehicles on such public streets in such places
