ROBERT L. EHRLICH, JR., Governor                             Ch. 320

(j) If a sign permitting any other turn is in place, vehicular traffic facing a
steady red signal, after stopping as required by subsection (h) of this section,
cautiously may enter the intersection and make the turn indicated by the sign.

(k) In each instance, 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 vehicle in the intersection or approaching on another roadway
so closely as to constitute an immediate hazard.

(1) 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.

(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
intersection. Each stop required by the signal shall be made at a sign or marking on
the pavement indicating where the stop shall be made or, if there is no sign or
marking, at the signal.

21-203.

(a)     Where special pedestrian control signals showing the words "walk", "dont
walk", or "wait" or the symbols of "walking person" or "upraised hand" are in place,
the signals have the indications provided in this section.

(b)     A pedestrian facing a "walk" or "walking person" signal may cross the
roadway in the direction of the signal and shall be given the right-of-way by the
driver of any vehicle. At an intersection where an exclusive all-pedestrian interval is
provided, a pedestrian may cross the roadway in any direction within the
intersection.

(c)     A pedestrian may not start to cross the roadway in the direction of a "dont
walk" or "upraised hand" signal.

(d)     A pedestrian may not start to cross the roadway in the direction of a "wait
signal".

(e)     If a pedestrian has partly completed crossing on a "walk" or "walking
person" signal, the pedestrian shall proceed without delay to a sidewalk or safety
island while the "dont walk", "wait", or "upraised hand" signal is showing.

21-501.1.

(A)     At an intersection, a person using an EPAMD is subject to all traffic
control signals, as provided in §§ 21-202 and 21-203 of this title. However, at any
other place, a person using an EPAMD has the rights and is subject to the restrictions
applicable to pedestrians under this title.

(B)     AT AN INTERSECTION, A PERSON USING A WHEELCHAIR IS SUBJECT TO
ALL TRAFFIC CONTROL SIGNALS, AS PROVIDED IN §§. 21-202 AND 21-203 OF THIS
TITLE. HOWEVER, AT ANY OTHER PLACE, A PERSON USING A WHEELCHAIR HAS THE
RIGHTS AND IS SUBJECT TO THE RESTRICTIONS APPLICABLE TO PEDESTRIANS
UNDER THIS TITLE.
