a.The Traffic Engineer is authorized to place markers, buttons or signs within or adjacent to intersections indicating the course to be traveled by vehicles turning at such intersections, and the Traffic Engineer is authorized to locate and indicate more than one lane of traffic from which drivers of vehicles may make right or left hand turns, and the course to be traveled as so indicated may conform to or be other than as prescribed by law or ordinance.

b.The Traffic Engineer shall post appropriate signs giving effect to this Section where he determines that the making of right turns against a traffic signal “stop” indication would seriously interfere with the safe and orderly flow of traffic.
