[(ii)] (2) Except as provided in [paragraph

(2)] SUBSECTIONS (I), (J), AND (K) of this [subsection] SECTION,

shall remain stopped until a signal to proceed is shown.

[(2)] (I) Unless a sign prohibiting a turn is in
place, vehicular traffic facing a steady red signal, after
stopping as required by [paragraph (1)] SUBSECTION (H) of this
[subsection] SECTION, cautiously may enter the intersection and
make a right turn.

(J) If a sign permitting any other turn is in place,
vehicular traffic facing a steady red signal, after stopping as

[subsection] SECTION, cautiously may enter the intersection and
make the turn indicated by the sign.

(K) In each instance, [this] vehicular traffic DESCRIBED IN
SUBSECTIONS (I) AND (J) OF THIS SECTION shall yield the
right-of-way to any pedestrian lawfully within an adjacent
crosswalk and to any other traffic lawfully using the
intersection.

[(3)] (L) Unless otherwise directed by a pedestrian
control signal as provided in § 21-203 of this subtitle,
pedestrians facing a steady red signal alone may not enter the
roadway.

[(e)] (M) Except for those provisions of this section that
by their very nature cannot apply, this section applies to a
traffic control signal placed at a location other than an

sign or marking on the pavement indicating where the stop shall
be made or, if there is no sign or marking, at the signal.
