[Traf. Code §§ 1, 55a]
A. 
Whenever special pedestrian-control signals are not utilized, the regular traffic-control signals, as indicated in § 36-148, shall apply to pedestrians as follows:
(1) 
Green indication. Pedestrians facing such signal may proceed across the roadway within any marked or unmarked crosswalk.
(2) 
Steady yellow indication. Pedestrians facing such signal are advised that there is insufficient time to cross the roadway and any pedestrian then starting to cross shall yield the right-of-way to all vehicles.
(3) 
Steady red indication. Pedestrians facing such signal shall not enter the highway unless they can do so safely and without interfering with any vehicular traffic.
(4) 
Red with arrow. Pedestrians facing such signal shall not enter the highway unless they can do so safely and without interfering with vehicular traffic.
[Traf. Code § 1]
A. 
Whenever special pedestrian-control signals are installed, they shall be placed at the far end of each crosswalk and shall indicate a "walk" or "don't walk" interval. These special signals shall apply to pedestrians only, to the exclusion of any regular traffic-control signal or signals which may be present at the same location, as follows:
(1) 
Walk interval: Pedestrians facing such signal may proceed across the highway in the direction of the signal and shall be given the right-of-way by the drivers of all vehicles.
(2) 
Don't walk (steady burning or flashing) interval: No pedestrian shall start to cross the highway in the direction of such signal, but any pedestrian who has partially completed his crossing on the walk interval of such signal shall proceed to the sidewalk or safety island while the don't walk interval of the signal is showing.

A. 
The Traffic Engineer is hereby authorized:
(1) 
To designate and maintain, by appropriate devices, marks or lines upon the surface of the roadway, crosswalks at those places where he shall find that there is particular danger to pedestrians crossing the roadway, and when he shall further find that the existence of a crosswalk will reduce that danger.
(2) 
To establish safety zones of such kind and character and at such places where he shall find that there is particular danger to pedestrians, and which are consistent with state law, and where he shall find that the existence of a safety zone will reduce that danger.
[Traf. Code §§ 6, 55; amended 1-7-2019 by Ord. No. 1977]
A. 
Except as otherwise provided in this article, where traffic-control signals are not in place or in operation, or traffic is being regulated by a public safety officer, the driver of a vehicle shall stop and yield the right-of-way to a pedestrian or bicyclist stopped at the curb, curbline, or ramp leading to the crosswalk and to every pedestrian and bicyclist crossing the roadway within 1) any marked crosswalk or 2) within any unmarked crosswalk at an intersection.
B. 
Whenever any vehicle is stopped at either a marked crosswalk or an unmarked crosswalk at an intersection to permit a pedestrian or bicyclist to cross a roadway, the driver of any other vehicle approaching from the rear shall not overtake and pass such stopped vehicle.
C. 
A pedestrian or bicyclist shall stop at the curb, curbline, or ramp leading to a crosswalk before entering the roadway.

D. 
Every pedestrian or bicyclist crossing a roadway at any point other than within a marked crosswalk or within an unmarked crosswalk at an intersection shall yield the right-of-way to all oncoming vehicles upon the roadway.
E.
