[CC 1988 §14-2; Ord. No. 2460 §1, 2-22-1973]
Whenever any ordinance of the City designates and describes
a through street, it shall be the duty of the City Traffic Engineer
to place and maintain a stop sign, or on the basis of an engineering
and traffic investigation at any intersection a yield sign, on each
and every street intersecting such through street unless traffic at
any such intersection is controlled at all times by traffic control
signals; provided however, that at the intersection of two (2) such
through streets or at the intersection of a through street and a heavy
traffic street not so designated, stop signs shall be erected at the
approaches of either of said streets as may be determined by the City
Traffic Engineer upon the basis of an engineering and traffic study.
[CC 1988 §14-2; Ord. No. 2460 §1, 2-22-1973]
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.
[CC 1988 §14-2; Ord. No. 2460 §1, 2-22-1973]
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

(B) of Section

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.
