§ 21-207. Privileges for funeral processions
Currentness
Procession allowed through intersection with red signal
(a) Notwithstanding any other provision of this title, a funeral procession facing a red signal may continue through or make a turn at an intersection if the first vehicle in the procession already entered the intersection before the signal changed from green to red.
Vehicles prohibited from entering intersection while procession passes
(b) While a funeral procession is proceeding through a red signal as permitted by this section, a vehicle that is not in the procession may not enter the intersection, even if it is facing a green signal, unless it can do so without crossing the path of the procession. When the red signal changes to green while the funeral procession is still within the intersection, a vehicle facing a green signal may proceed, but the funeral procession has the right-of-way.
Use of headlights and warning lamps required
(c) The driver of a vehicle in a funeral procession does not have any privilege granted in this section unless:
(1) The headlights of the vehicle are turned on; and
(2) Subject to § 22-221(g) of this article, the warning lamps of the vehicle are flashing.
