It shall be unlawful for any person traveling
upon a bicycle, motorcycle, coaster, sled, roller skates, or any toy
vehicle to cling to or attach himself or his vehicle to any moving
vehicle or street car upon any roadway.
The operator of a vehicle emerging from an alley,

A.
Colors and arrow indications in traffic control signals
shall have the commands ascribed to them in this section, and no other
meanings, and every driver of a vehicle, railway car or other conveyance
shall comply therewith, except when otherwise directed by an officer
or by a lawful traffic-regulating sign (other than a stop sign), signal
or device. In no case shall a driver enter or proceed through an intersection
without due regard to the safety of other persons within the intersection,
regardless of what indications may be given by traffic control signals.
(1)
Green indications shall have the following meanings:
(a)
Drivers facing a circular green may proceed
straight through or turn right or left unless a sign at such place
prohibits either turn. Drivers 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)
Drivers facing a green arrow, 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 movements
as are permitted by other indications shown at the same time. Such
drivers shall yield the right-of-way to pedestrians lawfully within
an adjacent crosswalk and to other traffic lawfully using the intersection.
(2)
Steady yellow indications. Drivers facing a steady
circular yellow or yellow arrow signal are thereby warned that the
related green movement is being terminated or that a red indication
will be exhibited immediately thereafter when drivers shall not enter
the intersection.
(3)
Steady red indications shall have the following meanings:
(a)
Drivers facing a circular red signal alone shall stop at a clearly marked stop line, but if none, before entering the crosswalk on the near side of the intersections or, if none, then before entering the intersection and shall remain standing until an indication to proceed is shown except as provided in Subsection A(3)(b) below.
(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.
(c)
Drivers facing a steady red arrow indication
may not enter the intersection to make the movement indicated by such
arrow, and unless entering the intersection to make such other movement
as is permitted by other indication shown at the same time, shall
stop at a clearly marked stop line or, if none, before entering the
crosswalk on the near side of the intersection or, if none, before
entering the intersection and shall remain standing until an indication
to make the movement indicated by such arrow is shown.
(4)
Red and yellow indications. While the red and yellow
lenses are illuminated together, drivers shall not enter the intersection,
and during such time the intersection shall be reserved for the exclusive
use of pedestrians.
(5)
Flashing signal indications shall have the following
meanings:
(a)
Flashing red (stop signal). When a red lens
is illuminated with rapid intermittent flashes, drivers of vehicles
shall stop at a clearly marked stop line or, if none, before entering
the crosswalk on the near side of the intersection or, if none, then
at a point nearest the intersecting roadway where the drivers have
a view of approaching traffic on the intersecting roadway before entering
the intersection, and the right to proceed shall be subject to the
provisions of MGL c. 89, § 8.
(b)
Flashing yellow (caution signal). When a yellow
lens is illuminated with rapid intermittent flashes, drivers of vehicles
may proceed through the intersection or pass such signal only with
caution.

C.
Pedestrians.
(1)
Pedestrians crossing ways or roadways. Pedestrians
shall obey the direction of police officers directing traffic and
whenever there is an officer directing traffic, a traffic control
signal or a marked crosswalk within 300 feet of a pedestrian, no such
pedestrian shall cross a way or roadway except within the limits of
a marked crosswalk and as hereinafter provided in this subsection.
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.
(2)
Pedestrian actuation.
(a)
At a traffic control signal location where pedestrian
indications are provided but which are shown only upon actuation by
means of a pedestrian push button, no pedestrian shall cross a roadway
unless or until the pedestrian control signal push button has been
actuated and then shall cross only on the proper pedestrian signal
indication. At traffic control signal locations where no pedestrian
indication is provided, pedestrians shall cross only on the green
indication. 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.
(a)
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.
(e)
Flashing red, yellow or green. 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.
(d)
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. Furthermore, notwithstanding the provisions of these regulations,
every operator of a vehicle shall exercise due care to avoid colliding
with any pedestrian upon the roadway and shall give warning by sounding
the horn when necessary and shall exercise proper precautions which
may become necessary for safe operation.
(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. The provisions of these rules and regulations
governing the use of ways by pedestrians shall not apply to pedestrians
actually engaged in work upon a roadway closed to traffic or under
construction or repair, to municipal, state, federal or public service
corporation employees while in the performance of their duties, to
officers engaged in the performance of their public duties or to pedestrians
acting in an emergency when such emergency necessitates departure
from any part of these rules and regulations.
(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)
Effect of regulations. All existing rules and
regulations governing the operation of vehicles or the use of ways
by pedestrians which are inconsistent herewith are hereby expressly
repealed. This repeal shall not, however, affect any punishment imposed
or any complaint or prosecution pending at the time of passage hereof
for any offense committed under any of the said rules and regulations
hereby repealed.

Every driver of a vehicle or other conveyance approaching an intersecting way at which there exists, facing him, an official sign bearing the word "stop" and authorized by this section, said sign having apart from this regulation the written approval of the Massachusetts Highway Department, and such approval being in effect, shall, before entering and proceeding through the intersection, bring such vehicle or other conveyance to a complete stop at such point as may be clearly marked by a sign or line, or if there is no line so marked, at a place between said sign and the line of the street intersection. In the case of a line of two or more vehicles approaching such stop sign, the drivers of the second and third vehicles in any group shall not be required to stop more than once at said designated line or place or in the immediate vicinity. This regulation shall not apply when the traffic is otherwise directed by a police officer or by any lawful traffic regulating sign, signal or device.
