§291C-33  Pedestrian-control signals. 
Whenever special pedestrian-control signals, exhibiting the words
"Walk" or "Don't Walk" or the symbols of a walking person
or an upraised palm are in place such signals shall indicate as follows:



(1)  Walk or Walking Person.  Pedestrians facing such
signal may proceed across the roadway in the direction of the signal and shall
be given the right-of-way by the drivers of all vehicles.



(2)  Don't Walk or Upraised Palm.  No pedestrian shall
start to cross the roadway in the direction of such signal, whether flashing or
steady, but any pedestrian who has partially completed the pedestrian's
crossing on the Walk or Walking Person signal shall complete the crossing to a
sidewalk or safety island while the Don't Walk or Upraised Palm signal is
showing. [L 1971, c 150, pt of §1; am L 1981, c 190, §2; gen ch 1985]
