The Traffic Commission shall place and maintain traffic-control
signs, signals and devices when and as required under this chapter
to make effective the provisions hereof, and may place and maintain
such additional traffic-control devices as it may deem necessary to
regulate traffic under this chapter or under state law, or to guide
or warn traffic.
The driver of every vehicle shall obey the instructions of any
official traffic-control device applicable thereto placed in accordance
with this chapter, unless otherwise directed by a police officer.
Traffic-control signals shall regulate traffic in accordance with §
44-13 hereof, and also at all intersections between any two such control signals at which appropriate signs clearly indicating such regulation shall be conspicuously displayed.
The Traffic Commission is hereby authorized:
A. To direct the marking, by appropriate devices, of marks or lines
upon the surface of the roadway, of crosswalks at intersections and
at other places.
B. To direct the marking of lanes for traffic on street pavements, in
conformity with the markings adopted from time to time by the New
York State Traffic Commission. It shall be unlawful, except in an
emergency, for any person to drive any vehicle across a double line
marked on the roadway surface by or under the direction of the Traffic
Commission, except where the line consists of a solid line and a broken
line and the broken line is on the same side as the vehicle.
