Whenever special pedestrian-control signals exhibiting the words "walk" or "don't walk" are in place:   

A.     "walk" indicates that pedestrians facing the signal may proceed across the roadway in the direction of the signal and shall be given the right-of-way by drivers of all vehicles; and   

B.     "don't walk" indicates that no pedestrian shall start to cross the roadway in the direction of the signal, but any pedestrian who has partially completed his crossing on the "walk" signal shall proceed to a sidewalk or safety island while the "don't walk" signal is showing.
