9 -7- 321.257: OFFICIAL TRAFFIC CONTROL SIGNALS:
A. For the purposes of this section, "stop at the official traffic control signal" means stopping at the first opportunity at
either the clearly marked stop line or before entering the crosswalk or before entering the intersection.
B. Official traffic control signals consisting of colored lights or colored lighted arrows shall regulate vehicle and pedestrian
traffic in the following manner:
1. A "steady circular red" light means vehicular traffic shall stop. Vehicular traffic shall remain standing until a signal to
proceed is shown, or vehicular traffic, unless prohibited by a sign, may cautiously enter the intersection to make a right turn
from the right lane of traffic or a left turn from a one -way street to a one -way street onto the leftmost lane of traffic on a
one -way street. Turns made under this subsection shall be made in a manner that does not interfere with other vehicular or
pedestrian traffic lawfully using the intersection. Pedestrian traffic facing a steady circular red light shall not enter the
roadway unless the pedestrian can safely cross the roadway without interfering with any vehicular traffic.
2. A "steady circular yellow" or "steady yellow arrow" light means vehicular traffic is warned that the related green
movement is being terminated and vehicular traffic shall no longer proceed into the intersection and shall stop. If the stop
cannot be made in safety, a vehicle may be driven cautiously through the intersection. Pedestrian traffic is warned that
there is insufficient time to cross the intersection and any pedestrian starting to cross the roadway shall yield the right of
way to all vehicles.
