Whenever special pedestrian control signals exhibiting the words “Walk” or “Don't Walk” or symbols of a walking person or an upraised palm are in place, the signals indicate as follows:
(1) A pedestrian facing a “Walk” signal or a walking person symbol may proceed across the roadway in the direction of the signal and the operators of all vehicles shall yield the right-of-way to the pedestrian.
(2) A pedestrian may not start to cross the roadway in the direction of a signal exhibiting a flashing or steady “Don't Walk” signal or upraised palm symbol, but a pedestrian who has partially completed crossing on the “Walk” signal or walking person symbol shall proceed to a sidewalk or safety island while the “Don't Walk” signal or upraised palm symbol is showing. An operator of a vehicle shall yield the right-of-way to a pedestrian who has partially completed crossing and is proceeding to the sidewalk or safety island.
(3) A pedestrian may not start to cross a roadway in the direction of a steady “Don't Walk” signal or upraised palm symbol.
