Police, fire, traffic emergency repair vehicles and ambulances,
when operated in response to calls, shall have the right-of-way. On
the approach of any such vehicle from any direction, and when such
vehicle is sounding a siren and emitting a flashing light, the driver
of every other vehicle shall immediately draw his vehicle as near
as practicable to the right-hand curb and parallel thereto, clear
of any intersection, and bring it to a standstill until such public
service vehicles have passed.
Between November 15 and March 15 annually, it shall be unlawful
and a violation of the provisions of this section for any person to
cause an obstruction to traffic by reason of inability to move a vehicle
being operated by him because of snow or ice accumulation in a street
when such vehicle has not been equipped with either snow tread tires,
all-season radials or tire chains.
A.
Whenever any vehicle is stopped at a marked crosswalk or at any unmarked
crosswalk at an intersection to permit a pedestrian to cross the roadway,
the driver of any other vehicle approaching from the rear shall not
overtake and pass such stopped vehicle.
B.
A marked crosswalk is a crosswalk in the road from curb to curb marked
with painted lines.
The driver of any motor vehicle shall not follow any fire apparatus
traveling in response to a fire alarm closer than 500 feet.
[Amended 1-6-1992 by Ord. No. 244]
No person shall drive a vehicle over or upon any fire hose or
equipment used by the Fire Department without the consent of the police
or fire officer in command.
No vehicle shall remain backed up to a curb except when actually
loading or unloading and then only for a reasonable time.
Whenever traffic is controlled by traffic-control signals exhibiting
different colored lights, or colored lighted arrows, successively
one 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. Such lights shall indicate and apply to drivers of vehicles
and pedestrians as follows:
A.
Green indication.
(1)
Vehicular traffic facing a circular 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.
(2)
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.
(3)
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.
B.
Steady yellow indication.
(1)
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.
(2)
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.
C.
Steady red indication.
(1)
Vehicular traffic facing a steady red signal 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.
(2)
Unless otherwise directed by a pedestrian-control signal, pedestrians
facing a steady red signal alone shall not enter the roadway.
D.
Official traffic-control signal. If an official traffic-control signal
is erected and maintained at a place other than an intersection, 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.
Except when directed to proceed by a police officer or traffic-control
signal, every driver of a motor vehicle approaching a stop intersection
indicated by a stop sign or flashing red light shall stop before entering
the crosswalk on the near side of the intersection or, if there is
no crosswalk, shall stop at a clearly marked stop line, but if none,
then at the point nearest the intersecting roadway where the driver
has a view of approaching traffic on the intersecting roadway before
entering the intersection.

The driver of a vehicle approaching a yield sign shall in obedience
to such sign slow down to a speed reasonable for existing conditions,
or shall stop if necessary and shall yield the right-of-way to any
pedestrian legally crossing the roadway on which he is driving, and
to any vehicle in the intersection or approaching on another highway
so closely as to constitute an immediate hazard. Such driver having
so yielded may proceed and the drivers of all other vehicles approaching
the intersection shall yield to the vehicle so proceeding; provided,
however, that if such driver is involved in a collision with a pedestrian
in a crosswalk or a vehicle in the intersection after driving past
a yield sign without stopping, such collision shall be deemed prima
facie evidence of his failure to yield the right-of-way.
