(b)
When a sign is in place permitting a turn, drivers facing a steady circular red signal may cautiously enter the intersection to make the turn indicated by such sign after stopping as provided in Subsection A(3)(a) above. Such drivers shall yield the right-of-way to pedestrians lawfully within an adjacent crosswalk and to other traffic lawfully using the intersection.

For the purpose of this subsection, a marked crosswalk shall be construed to be that area of a roadway reserved for pedestrian crossing located within two solid white reflectorized twelve-inch pavement markings in rural areas or markings not less than six inches wide in urban areas, said markings or lines being no less than six feet apart.

If necessary, the green indication shall be actuated by the pedestrian by means of a push button.
(b)
At a traffic control signal location, pedestrians shall yield the right-of-way to vehicles of a funeral or other procession or authorized emergency vehicles while in performance of emergency duties, regardless of the signal indication given, and they shall not attempt to cross the roadway until such vehicles or procession has passed at which time pedestrians shall then cross the roadway only as provided in this subsection.
(3)
Pedestrian obedience to traffic control signals. Traffic control signal color indications and legends shall have the commands ascribed to them in this subsection and no other meanings, and every pedestrian shall comply therewith, except when otherwise directed by an officer.

Red and yellow or the word "walk." Whenever the red or yellow lenses are illuminated together or the single word "walk" is illuminated, pedestrians facing such indication may proceed across the roadway and in the direction of such signal only.
(b)
Red alone or "don't walk." Whenever the words "don't walk" or any indication other than red and yellow shown together are illuminated in a traffic control signal where pedestrian indications are provided, pedestrians approaching or facing such indication shall wait on the sidewalk, edge of roadway or in the pedestrian refuge area of a traffic island and shall not enter upon or cross a roadway until the proper indication is illuminated in the traffic control signal, but any pedestrian who has partially completed his crossing on the walk indication shall proceed or return to the nearest sidewalk or safety island on the yellow indication, the red indication, or when the words "don't walk" are illuminated by rapid intermittent flashes.
(c)
Green alone. At traffic control signal locations where no pedestrian indication is given or provided, pedestrians facing the signal may proceed across the roadway within any marked crosswalk in the direction of the green indication.
(d)
Yellow alone, red alone or flashing "don't walk." Pedestrians approaching or facing a yellow, red or flashing "don't walk" illuminated indication shall not start to cross a roadway.

At any traffic control signal location where a flashing red, flashing yellow or flashing green indication is being given facing a crosswalk, pedestrians shall actuate, where provided, the pedestrian signal indication and cross the roadway only on the red-yellow or "walk" indication when such indication is in operation. If no pedestrian signal is provided, pedestrians shall cross within crosswalks with due care.
(4)
Pedestrian crossings and use of roadways.
(a)
No pedestrian shall suddenly leave a sidewalk or safety island and walk or run into the path of a vehicle which is so close that it is impossible for the driver to yield the right-of-way.
(b)
Pedestrians shall at all times attempt to cross a roadway using the right half of crosswalks.
(c)
Where sidewalks are provided, it shall be unlawful for any pedestrian to walk along and upon an adjacent roadway whenever the sidewalk is open to pedestrian use.

When sidewalks are not provided, any pedestrian walking along and upon a highway shall, when practicable, walk only on the left side of the roadway on its unfinished shoulder facing traffic which may approach from the opposite direction.
(e)
Persons alighting from the roadway side of any vehicle parked at the curb or edge of roadway shall proceed immediately to the sidewalk or edge of roadway adjacent to the vehicle, and shall cross the roadway only as authorized by these regulations.
(f)
It shall be unlawful for any person to actuate a pedestrian control signal or to enter a marked crosswalk unless a crossing of the roadway is intended.
(5)
Crossing at nonsignalized locations. Every pedestrian crossing a roadway at any point other than within a marked crosswalk shall yield the right-of-way to all vehicles upon the roadway. At a point where a pedestrian tunnel or overpass has been provided, pedestrians shall cross the roadway only by the proper use of the tunnel or overpass.
(6)
Operators to exercise due care. The provisions of these regulations shall in no way abrogate the provisions of MGL c. 90, §§ 14 and 14A, which provide precautions for safety of other travelers and for the protection of blind persons crossing ways.

(7)
Pedestrians soliciting rides or business. No person shall stand in a roadway for the purpose of soliciting a ride, employment or business from the operator or occupant of any vehicle without the written permission of the board or officer having control of such roadway or highway.
(8)
Officers to enforce pedestrian regulations. These pedestrian control regulations shall be enforced by all officers of the Town of Ashland.
(9)
Exemptions.

(10)
Penalties. Any person who violates the provisions of this article which deal with proper use of ways by pedestrians shall be punished by a fine as provided in MGL c. 90, § 18A.
(11)
