Those intersections described in Schedule XIII are declared

A.
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.
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 approaching a yield sign shall in obedience
to such sign slow down to a speed reasonable for the existing conditions
and shall yield the right-of-way to any vehicle in the intersection
or approaching on another highway so closely as to constitute an immediate
hazard during the time such driver is moving across or within the
intersection; provided however, that if such a driver is involved
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.
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.
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.
