  • The mayor and board of aldermen may provide for the procuring, erection and maintenance of traffic control signals exhibiting different colored lights successively one at a time, or with arrows, or directing pedestrians to "walk" or "don't walk," or exhibiting flashing red, yellow or amber lights. It shall be unlawful to fail to comply with any such signal in the manner provided by R.S. 32:232, 32:233 and 32:234; provided, however, that vehicles may turn right on a red or stop signal after coming to a complete stop and yielding the right-of-way to conflicting vehicles or pedestrians, if there is in place at the location no sign or marking prohibiting such turns.
