§ 54-107. Inoperative or malfunctioning devices.

(a)

Whenever a driver approaches an intersection and faces a traffic-control signal which is inoperative or which remains on steady red or steady yellow during several time cycles, the rules controlling entrance to a through street or highway from a stop street or highway shall apply until a police officer assumes control of traffic or until normal operation is resumed. If any traffic-control signal at a place other than in intersection should cease to operate or should malfunction as herein set forth drivers may proceed through the inoperative or malfunctioning signal only with caution, as if the signal were one (1) of the flashing yellow.

(b)

Whenever a pedestrian faces a pedestrian control signal which is inoperative or which remains on "Don't Walk" or "Wait" during several time cycles, such pedestrian shall not enter the roadway unless the pedestrian can do so safely and without interfering with any vehicular traffic.
