Whenever special pedestrian control signals
exhibiting the words "walk" or "don't walk" are in place, the signals
must indicate as follows:
(1) Flashing or steady "walk" means a pedestrian facing the signal
may proceed across the roadway in the direction of the signal and
a person who drives a vehicle shall yield the right-of-way to the
pedestrian.
(2) Steady "don't walk" means a pedestrian may not start to cross
the roadway in the direction of the signal. A pedestrian who has
partially completed crossing on the "walk" signal shall proceed to
a sidewalk or safety island while the "don't walk" signal is
showing.
(3) Flashing "don't walk" means a pedestrian may not start to
cross the roadway in the direction of the signal. A pedestrian who
has already started to cross on the "walk" signal shall proceed to
a sidewalk or safety island. If a countdown pedestrian signal
indication is also shown, a pedestrian may cross if the pedestrian
is able to proceed to the sidewalk or safety island by the time the
steady "don't walk" signal is shown, and a person who drives a
vehicle shall yield the right-of-way to the pedestrian.
