The Municipal Council shall place and maintain or cause to be placed and maintained all official traffic signs, signals, markings and safety zones. All signs, signals, markings and safety zones shall conform to the standards as prescribed by the Massachusetts Department of Transportation.
The driver of every vehicle shall obey the instructions of any official traffic control signal, sign, marking, marker or legend, unless otherwise directed by a police officer.
Sections relating to one-way streets shall be effective only during such time as sufficient number of official signs are erected and maintained at each of the exits for each one-way street, so that at least one sign will be clearly visible for a distance of at least 75 feet to drivers approaching such an exit.
[Amended 8-8-2000]
Every driver of a vehicle approaching an intersection of ways where there exists facing him/her an official sign bearing the words "Stop" or a flashing red signal indication, said sign or signal having, apart from this section, been erected as prescribed in the Massachusetts Department of Transportation standards, and such approval being in effect, shall, before proceeding through the intersection, bring such vehicle to a complete stop at such point as may be clearly marked by a sign or line or, if a point is not so marked, then at the nearest line of crosswalk of said intersection. This section shall not apply when the traffic is otherwise directed by an officer or by a lawful traffic regulating sign, signal or device or as provided in § 405-15, Operation of vehicles in funeral procession.
[As amended through 1-5-2010; subsequent amendments noted where applicable]

A. 
Every driver of a vehicle or other conveyance approaching an intersection of ways, where there exists facing the driver an official sign bearing the word "Yield," said sign having been erected in accordance with the written approval of the Department of Transportation of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts and such approval being in effect, shall surrender to oncoming traffic his/her right to enter the intersection until such time as the driver has brought the vehicle or other conveyance to a complete stop at a point between said "Yield" sign and the nearer line of the street intersection; provided, however, that this requirement to stop before entering the intersection shall not apply when a driver approaching a "Yield" sign can enter the intersection in safety without causing approaching traffic interference.
[Amended 6-6-2016]
B. 
This section shall not apply whenever the traffic is controlled by an officer or regulating sign, signal or device.
[Amended 6-6-2016]
C. 
In accordance with the foregoing, "Yield" signs are authorized to face:
(1)

(3)

[Added 8-20-2024]
[Amended 10-30-1979; 12-13-1988]
Color and arrow indications in traffic control signals shall have the commands ascribed to them in this section and no other meaning, and every driver of a vehicle 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, or except as provided in § 405-15B. 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.
A. 
Green. While the green lens is illuminated, drivers facing the signal may proceed through the intersection but shall yield the right-of-way to pedestrians and vehicles lawfully within a crosswalk or the intersection at the time such signal was exhibited. Drivers of vehicles making a right or left turn shall yield the right-of-way to pedestrians crossing with the flow of traffic.
B. 
Right, left and vertical green arrows. When a right green arrow is illuminated, drivers facing such signal may turn right. When a left green arrow is illuminated, drivers facing such signal may turn left. When a vertical green arrow is illuminated, drivers facing such signal may go straight ahead. When a green arrow is exhibited together with a red or a yellow lens, drivers may enter the intersection to make the movement permitted by the arrow but shall yield the right-of-way to vehicles and pedestrians proceeding from another direction on a green indication.
C. 
Yellow. While the yellow lens is illuminated, waiting drivers shall not proceed and any driver approaching the intersection or a marked stop line shall stop at such point unless so close to the intersection that a stop cannot be made in safety, provided that, if a green arrow is illuminated at the same time, drivers may enter the intersection to make the movement permitted by such arrow.
D. 
Red.
(1) 
Traffic facing a steady circular red signal alone 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 before entering the intersection and shall remain standing until an indication to proceed is shown, except as allowed by MGL c. 89, § 8, as amended.
(2) 
No driver of a vehicle facing a circular red signal indication shall make a right turn where official traffic signs are installed and maintained prohibiting such turn at the following intersections:
