This section establishes appropriate pedestrian responses to specific traffic control devices for purposes of ORS § 814.020. Authority to place traffic control devices is established under ORS § 810.210. Except when acting under the direction of a police officer, a pedestrian is in violation of ORS § 814.020 if the pedestrian makes a response to a traffic control device that is not permitted under the following:

(1) A pedestrian facing a traffic control device with a green light may proceed across the roadway within any marked or unmarked crosswalk unless prohibited from doing so by other traffic control devices.

(2) A pedestrian facing a traffic control device with a green arrow signal light may proceed across the roadway within any marked or unmarked crosswalk unless prohibited from doing so by other traffic control devices.

(3) A pedestrian facing a traffic control device with a steady yellow light shall not enter the roadway unless otherwise directed by a pedestrian control signal.

(4) A pedestrian facing a traffic control device with a steady red light shall not enter the roadway unless otherwise directed by a pedestrian control signal.

(5) If a traffic control device is erected and maintained at a place other than an intersection, the provisions of this section are applicable.

(6) When a pedestrian control signal showing the words ‘Walk’ and ‘Wait’ or ‘Don’t Walk’ or any other pedestrian symbol approved by the Oregon Transportation Commission under ORS § 810.200 and 810.210 for the purpose of controlling pedestrian crossing is in place, the signal indicates and applies as follows:

(a) If a pedestrian is facing a ‘Walk’ signal or other symbol approved under ORS § 810.200 and 810.210 indicating that the pedestrian may proceed, the pedestrian may proceed across the roadway in the direction of the signal.

(b) A pedestrian shall not start to cross the roadway in the direction of a signal showing a ‘Wait’ or ‘Don’t Walk’ or any other symbol approved under ORS § 810.200 and 810.210 indicating that the pedestrian may not proceed. A pedestrian who has started crossing a roadway on a signal showing ‘Walk’ or any other approved symbol to proceed shall proceed with dispatch to a sidewalk or safety island while a signal is showing ‘Wait’ or ‘Don’t Walk’ or any other approved symbol indicating not to proceed.
