Those streets and parts of streets described by ordinances of
the City are declared to be through streets for the purposes of this
Chapter.
Whenever any ordinance of the City designates and describes
a through street the owner of a vehicle on each and every street intersecting
such through street shall stop where such street intersects with the
through street unless traffic at any such intersection is controlled
at all times by traffic control signals.
The City Traffic Engineer is hereby authorized to determine and designate intersections where particular hazard exists upon other than through streets and to determine whether vehicles shall stop at one (1) or more entrances to any such intersection in which event he/she shall cause to be erected a stop sign at every such place where a stop is required, or whether vehicles shall yield the right-of-way to vehicles on a different street at such intersection as prescribed in Subsection (A) of Section 335.040, in which event he/she shall cause to be erected a yield sign at every place where obedience thereto is required.
A.Â
The driver
of a vehicle approaching a yield sign if required for safety to stop
shall stop before entering the crosswalk on the near side of the intersection
or, in the event there is no crosswalk, at a clearly marked stop line,
but if none, then at the point nearest the intersecting roadway where
the driver has a view of approaching traffic on the intersecting roadway.
B.Â
Except
when directed to proceed by a Police Officer or traffic control signal,
every driver of a vehicle approaching a stop intersection indicated
by a stop sign shall stop before entering the crosswalk on the near
side of the intersection or, in the event there is no crosswalk, shall
stop at a clearly marked stop line, but if none, then at the point
nearest the intersecting roadway where the driver has a view of approaching
traffic on the intersecting roadway before entering the intersection.
The driver of a vehicle within a business or residence district
emerging from an alley, driveway or building shall stop such vehicle
immediately prior to driving onto a sidewalk or onto the sidewalk
area extending across any alleyway or driveway, and shall yield the
right-of-way to any pedestrian as may be necessary to avoid collision,
and upon entering the roadway shall yield the right-of-way to all
vehicles approaching on said roadway.
[Ord. No. 3768 §1, 11-11-2013]
No driver 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/she is operating without
obstructing the passage of the other vehicles or pedestrians, unless
the operator of that vehicle entered an intersection controlled by
an electric signal and the vehicle entered the intersection during
a yellow signal interval for the direction of travel in which the
vehicle is traveling.
