§ 195-3. Obedience to signals.

Traffic control signal color indications and legends shall have the commands ascribed to them in this section and no other meanings, and every pedestrian shall comply therewith, except when otherwise directed by an officer.

A. 

The word "walk." Whenever 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, the edge of the 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 illuminated indication, a red illuminated indication or a 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 shall 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.
