301.01 MEANING OF WORDS AND PHRASES.  
 The following words and phrases when used in this Traffic Code, except as otherwise provided, shall have the meanings respectively ascribed to them in this chapter.  
301.02 AGRICULTURAL TRACTOR AND TRACTION ENGINE.  
 “Agricultural tractor” and “traction engine” means every self-propelled vehicle designed or used for drawing other vehicles or wheeled machinery, but having no provision for carrying loads independently of such other vehicles, and used principally for agricultural purposes.

301.03 ALLEY.  
 “Alley” means a street or highway intended to provide access to the rear or side of lots or buildings in urban districts, and not intended for the purpose of through vehicular traffic, and any street or highway that has been declared an “alley” by the Legislative Authority of the municipality in which the street or highway is located.  
(ORC 4511.01(XX))  
301.04 ARTERIAL STREET OR HIGHWAY.  
 “Arterial street or highway” means a street or highway primarily used by through traffic, usually on a continuous route or a street or highway designated as part of an arterial system.  
(ORC 4511.01(CCC))  
301.05 AUTOCYCLE.  
 “Autocycle” has the same meaning as in Ohio R.C. 4501.01.  
(ORC 4511.01(LLLL))  
301.06 BEACON.  
 “Beacon” means a highway traffic signal with one or more signal sections that operate in a flashing mode.  
(ORC 4511.01(KKK))  
301.07 BICYCLE.

301.08 BICYCLE BOX.

(ORC 4511.01(BBBB))  
301.09 BICYCLE LANE.  
 “Bicycle lane” means a portion of a roadway that has been designated for preferential or exclusive use by bicyclists and is often delineated from the adjacent general purpose lanes by longitudinal pavement markings and either a bicycle lane symbol, words, or signs. The term includes all of the following:  
 (a) A buffer-separated bicycle lane, which is separated from the adjacent general-purpose lanes by a pattern of standard longitudinal pavement markings that are wider than a normal or wide-lane pavement marking;  
 (b) A counter-flow bicycle lane, which is a one directional bicycle lane that provides a lawful path of travel for bicycles in the opposite direction from the general traffic on a roadway that otherwise requires the general traffic to travel in only one direction. A counter-flow bicycle lane is designated by the traffic control devices used for other bicycle lanes;  
 (c) A separated bicycle lane, which is an exclusive facility for bicyclists that is located within or directly adjacent to the roadway and is physically separated from the motor vehicle traffic with a vertical element.

CHAPTER 301 Definitions  
301.35 HIGHWAY TRAFFIC SIGNAL.  
 “Highway traffic signal” means a power-operated traffic control device by which traffic is warned or directed to take some specific action. The term includes a beacon, an in-road warning light, a lane-use control signal, and a traffic control signal. The term does not include a power-operated sign, steadily illuminated pavement marker, gate, flashing light signal, warning light, or steady burning electric lamp.  
(ORC 4511.01(MMM))  
301.36 HYBRID BEACON.  
 “Hybrid beacon” means a special type of beacon that is intentionally placed in a dark mode where no indications are displayed between periods of operation and, when operated, displays both steady and flashing highway traffic signal indications. The term includes both of the following:  
 (a) An emergency-vehicle hybrid beacon used to warn and control traffic at an otherwise unsignalized location to assist authorized emergency vehicles in entering or crossing a street or highway;  
 (b) A pedestrian hybrid beacon used to warn and control traffic at an otherwise unsignalized location to assist pedestrians in crossing a street or highway at a marked crosswalk.  
 (ORC 4511.01(LLL))  
301.37 IN-ROAD WARNING LIGHT.  
 “In-road warning light” means a special type of highway traffic signal that is installed in the roadway surface to warn road users that they are approaching a condition on or adjacent to the roadway that might not be readily apparent and might require the road users to reduce speed or come to a complete stop.  
(ORC 4511.01(ZZZ))  
301.38 INTERSECTION.  
 “Intersection” means:  
 (a) The area embraced within the prolongation or connection of the lateral curb lines, or, if none, the lateral boundary lines of the roadways of two highways that join one another at, or approximately at, right angles, or the area within which vehicles traveling upon different highways that join at any other angle might come into conflict. The junction of an alley, driveway, or site roadway open to public travel with a public roadway or highway does not constitute an intersection, unless the public roadway or highway at the junction is controlled by a traffic control device.  
 (b) If a highway includes two roadways separated by a median, then every crossing of each roadway of such divided highway by an intersecting highway constitutes a separate intersection if the opposing left-turn paths cross and there is sufficient interior storage for the design vehicle. As used in this division, “design vehicle” means the longest vehicle authorized under Ohio R.C. 5577.05 to operate on that roadway without a permit.  
 (c) At a location controlled by a highway traffic signal, regardless of the distance between the separate intersections as described in subsection (b) of this definition:  
 (1) If a stop line, yield line, or crosswalk has not been designated on the roadway within the median between the separate intersections, the two intersections and the roadway and median constitute one intersection.  
 (2) Where a stop line, yield line, or crosswalk is designated on the roadway on the intersection approach, the area within the crosswalk and any area beyond the designated stop line or yield line constitute part of the intersection.  
 (3) Where a crosswalk is designated on a roadway on the departure from the intersection, the intersection includes the area that extends to the far side of the crosswalk. (ORC 4511.01(KK))  
301.39 LANE-USE CONTROL SIGNAL.  
 “Lane-use control signal” means a signal face or comparable display on a full-matrix changeable message sign that displays indications to permit or prohibit the use of specific lanes of a roadway or a shoulder where driving is sometimes authorized or to indicate the impending prohibition of such use.

301.44 MEDIAN.  
 “Median” means the portion of a highway separating opposing directions of the traveled way or the area between two roadways of a divided highway, measured from edge of traveled way to edge of traveled way.

The junction of an alley, driveway, or site roadway open to public travel with a public roadway or highway does not constitute an intersection, unless the public roadway or highway at the junction is controlled by a traffic control device.

As used in this division, “design vehicle” means the longest vehicle authorized under Ohio R.C. 5577.05 to operate on that roadway without a permit.  
 (c) At a location controlled by a highway traffic signal, regardless of the distance between the separate intersections as described in subsection (b) of this definition:
