[CC 1984 §76.010]
A.
Whenever
traffic is controlled by traffic control signals exhibiting different
colored lights, or colored lighted arrows, successively one (1) at
a time or in combination, only the colors green, red and yellow shall
be used except for special pedestrian signals carrying a word legend,
and said lights shall indicate and apply to drivers of vehicles and
pedestrians as follows:
1.
Green indication.
a.
Vehicular traffic facing a circular green 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.
b.
Vehicular traffic facing a green arrow signal, shown alone or in
combination with another indication, may cautiously enter the intersection
only to make the movement indicated by such arrow, or such other movement
as is permitted by other indications shown at the same time. Such
vehicular traffic shall yield the right-of-way to pedestrians lawfully
within an adjacent crosswalk and to other traffic lawfully using the
intersection.
c.
Unless otherwise directed by a pedestrian control signal pedestrians
facing any green signal, except when the sole green signal is a turn
arrow, may proceed across the roadway within any marked or unmarked
crosswalk.
2.
Steady yellow indication.
a.
Vehicular traffic facing a steady yellow signal is thereby warned
that the related green movement is being terminated or that a red
indication will be exhibited immediately thereafter when vehicular
traffic shall not enter the intersection.
b.
Pedestrians facing a steady yellow signal, unless otherwise directed
by a pedestrian control signal are thereby advised that there is insufficient
time to cross the roadway before a red indication is shown and no
pedestrian shall then start to cross the roadway.
3.
Steady red indication.
a.
Vehicular traffic facing a steady red signal alone 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 a green indication is shown except as provided in Paragraph
(b) of this Subsection.
b.
The driver of a vehicle which is stopped as close as practicable
at the entrance to the crosswalk on the near side of the intersection
or, if none, then at the entrance to the intersection in obedience
to a red signal, may cautiously enter the intersection to make a right
turn but shall yield the right-of-way to pedestrians and other traffic
proceeding as directed by the signal at the intersection, except that
the State Highways and Transportation Commission with reference to
an intersection involving a State highway, and local authorities with
reference to an intersection involving other highways under their
jurisdiction, may prohibit any such right turn against a red signal
at any intersection where safety conditions so require, said prohibition
shall be effective when a sign is erected at such intersection giving
notice thereof.
c.
Unless otherwise directed by a pedestrian control signal pedestrians
facing a steady red signal alone shall not enter the roadway.
4.
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.
[CC 1984 §76.930]
A.
The
City Traffic Engineer 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 not been marked, it shall be unlawful for
the operator of any vehicle to fail or refuse to keep such vehicle
within the proper right-hand lane of any such street or highway within
the City limits of the City of Seneca, Missouri, except when lawfully
passing another vehicle or preparatory to making a lawful turning
movement.
