to certain traffic signals.
(H 785]

Approved March 31, 1964

Be it enacted by the General Assembly of Virginia:

1. That § 46.1-184 of the Code of Virginia be amended and reenacted
as follows:

§ 46.1-184. Signals by lights or semaphores shall be as follows:

(a) Red indicates that traffic then moving shall stop and remain
stopped as long as the red signal is shown, except in the direction indicated
by a lighted green arrow. Green indicates that traffic shall then move in
the direction of the signal and remain in motion as long as the green signal
is given.

(b) Amber indicates that a change is about to be made in the direction
of the moving of traffic. When the amber signal is shown, traffic which has
not already entered the intersection, including the crosswalks, shall stop
but that which has entered the intersection shall continue to move until
the intersection has been entirely cleared.

(c) * The use of a flashing red indicates that traffic shall stop before
entering * an intersection.

(d) Officers of the law may assume control of traffic otherwise con-
trolled by lights or semaphores and in such event signals by such officers
shall take precedence over such lights or semaphores.
