Every driver of a vehicle or other conveyance approaching an intersection of ways, where there exists facing him an official sign bearing the word "yield," such sign having been erected in accordance with the written approval of the Department of Transportation of the commonwealth and such approval being in effect, shall surrender to oncoming traffic his right to enter the intersection until such time as he has brought his vehicle or other conveyance to a complete stop at a point between the "yield" sign and the nearer line of the street intersection; provided, however, that this requirement to stop before entering the intersection shall not apply when a driver approaching a "yield" sign can enter the intersection in safety without causing interference to approaching traffic.

[Amended 2-16-2016 by Ord. No. 013]

Care in stopping. Except as otherwise provided in 720 CMR 9.08(3), the driver of any vehicle, before starting, stopping, turning from a direct line, or backing, shall first see that such movement can be made in safety. If such movement cannot be made in safety or if it interferes unduly with the normal movement of other traffic, said driver shall wait for a more favorable opportunity to make such a movement. If the operation of another vehicle should be affected by a stopping or turning movement, the driver of such other vehicle shall be given a plainly visible signal, as required by MGL c. 90, § 14B.

Following too closely. 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 highway.

Upon such roadways as are divided by a parkway, grass plot, reservation, viaduct, subway or by any structure or area, drivers shall keep to the right of such division, except when otherwise directed by an officer, signs, signals or markings.

At any junction or crossing of ways where the roadway grades have been separated and where the ways are connected by ramps, and at any intersection of ways in which there are channelizing islands, drivers of vehicles shall proceed only as indicated by signs, signals or markings.

No operator shall enter upon the road surface of any street or highway, or section thereof, when by reason of construction, surface treatment, maintenance or the like, or because of some unprotected hazard, such road surface is closed to travel, and one or more signs, lights, or signals have been erected to indicate that all or part of the road surface of the street or highway is not to be used, or when so advised by an officer, watchman, member of a street or highway crew or employee of the City, either audibly or by signals.
