No person shall drive in such a manner as to obstruct unnecessarily the normal movement of traffic upon any street or highway. Officers are hereby authorized to require any driver who fails to comply with this section to drive to the side of the roadway and wait until such traffic as has been delayed has passed.
The driver of a vehicle shall not follow another vehicle more closely than is reasonable and prudent, having due regard to the speed of such vehicle and the traffic upon and condition of the street or highway.
A. 
Every driver of a vehicle, railway car or other conveyance, approaching an intersection of ways where there exists facing him an official sign, bearing the word "stop" and authorized by this section (said sign having, apart from this regulation, the written approval of the Massachusetts Department of Transportation, and such approval being in effect), shall, before proceeding through the intersection, bring such vehicle, railway car or other conveyance to a complete stop at such point as may be clearly marked by a sign or line, or if a point is not so marked, then at a place between the "stop" sign and the nearer line of the street intersection. This section shall not apply when the traffic is otherwise directed by an officer or by a lawful traffic-regulating sign, signal or device.
B. 
In accordance with the foregoing, the erection and maintenance of an official "stop" sign or signs are authorized as follows:
