(Prior code § 3306.06)

No operator of any vehicle shall enter an intersection or a marked crosswalk unless there is sufficient space on the other side of the intersection or crosswalk to accommodate the vehicle he or she is operating without obstructing the passage of other vehicles or pedestrians, notwithstanding any traffic-control signal indication to proceed.

(Prior code § 3306.07)

For the purpose of lessening the congestion of pedestrian use at street intersections in the business district of Upland, and for the convenience of the public, it is further ordained that crosswalks for pedestrians may be established in the middle of the block on Second Avenue between "A" Street and Ninth Street; and in the middle of the block on Second Avenue between Ninth Street and "C" Street; and in the middle of the block on Ninth Street between First Avenue and Second Avenue: and in the middle of the block on Ninth Street between Second Avenue and Third Avenue. Such crosswalks are not required to be exactly in the middle of the blocks, but substantially so or at what appears to be a convenient and proper place. Each crosswalk shall be approximately six feet in width, shall be marked for the full length across the street by metal markers or buttons, or by white painted lines. Such crosswalks are intended for the use of pedestrians generally in crossing from one side of the street to the other, and it is provided that any and all pedestrians are given and shall have the same right and privilege of using the same as is accorded unto pedestrians at regular crossings at street intersections. When in use by pedestrians, all vehicular traffic shall yield the right-of-way unto such pedestrians, and if the situation so requires or appears proper, any and all of such vehicles shall go slow or come to a full stop before entering upon and crossing such crosswalks, and all to the end that pedestrian use shall be fully protected. No driver or operator of any motor, or other vehicle, shall violate any of the provisions of this section, or enter upon or cross such crosswalks when the same is in use by one or more pedestrians, without yielding the right-of-way to the pedestrian use; and without going slow or coming to a full stop as the situation may reasonably require. These provisions, however, shall be operative only when such crosswalks are plainly marked as such by markers or buttons, or by painted white lines as aforesaid. The city manager is authorized and empowered to establish and maintain such cross-walks. Suitable signs may also be erected directing attention to such pedestrian crossings.

(Prior code § 3306.08)

Whenever any vehicle has slowed down or stopped at a marked crosswalk as aforesaid, or at any intersection, to permit a pedestrian or pedestrians to cross the street, no driver of any other vehicle approaching from the rear shall overtake and pass such slowed-down or stopped vehicle.

(Prior code § 3306.09)
