side of the intersection or, if none, then before entering the intersection,

proceed with reasonable safety.
(c) A driver facing a steady red arrow signal shall not enter the
intersection to make the movement indicated by the arrow and, unless entering
the intersection to make a movement permitted by another signal, shall stop at
a clearly marked limit line, but if none, before entering the crosswalk on the
near side of the intersection, or if none, then before entering the
intersection, and shall remain stopped until an indication permitting movement
is shown.
(d) Unless otherwise directed by a pedestrian control signal as provided in
Section 21456, a pedestrian facing a steady circular red or red arrow signal
