hazard during the time such driver is moving across or within the

in a collision with a vehicle in the intersection, after driving past
a yield sign without stopping, such collision shall be deemed prima
facie evidence of his/her failure to yield right-of-way.

and upon entering the roadway shall yield the right-of-way to all
vehicles approaching on said roadway.
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 other vehicles or pedestrians, notwithstanding
any traffic control signal indication to proceed.
