[CC 1971 §24-1; RSMo. 300.255]
Those streets and parts of streets described by ordinances of the City are declared to be through streets for the purposes of Sections
335.010 to
335.090.
[CC 1971 §24-1; RSMo. 300.260]
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 1971 §24-1; RSMo. 300.265]
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 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 different street at such intersection as prescribed in Subsection
A. of Section
335.040, in which event he shall cause to be erected a yield sign at every place where obedience thereto is required.
[Ord. No. 753 §24.105, 10-20-1987]
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 a 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 or flashing red light as illuminated with rapid intermittent
flashes, 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 a point nearest
the intersecting roadway where the driver has a view of approaching
traffic on the intersecting roadway before entering the intersection.
C. Any
person violating this Section shall, upon conviction, be guilty of
a misdemeanor.
[CC 1971 §24-1; RSMo. 300.275]
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 as required by Subsection
B. of Section
335.040, and after having stopped shall yield the right-of-way to any vehicle which has entered the intersection from another highway or which is approaching so closely on said highway as to constitute an immediate hazard during the time when such driver is moving across or within the intersection.
[CC 1971 §24-1; RSMo. 300.280]
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 failure to yield right-of-way.
[Ord. No. 753 §24.106, 10-20-1987]
A. 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 or contact,
and upon entering the roadway shall yield the right of way to all
vehicles approaching on said roadway.
B. Any
person violating this Section shall, upon conviction be guilty of
a misdemeanor.
[CC 1971 §24-1; RSMo. 300.290]
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 is operating without obstructing
the passage of other vehicles or pedestrians, notwithstanding any
traffic control signal indication to proceed.
[CC 1971 §24-1; RSMo. 300.295]
A. Whenever
any person driving a vehicle approaches a railroad grade crossing
under any of the circumstances stated in this Section, the driver
of such vehicle shall stop within fifty (50) feet, but not less than
fifteen (15) feet from the nearest rail of such railroad, and shall
not proceed until he can do so safely. The foregoing requirements
shall apply when.
1. A clearly visible electric or mechanical signal device gives warning
of the immediate approach of a railroad train;
2. A crossing gate is lowered or when a human flagman gives or continues
to give a signal of the approach or passage of a railroad train;
3. An approaching railroad train is plainly visible and is in hazardous

a Police Officer.
B. Any
person violating this Section shall, upon conviction be guilty of
a misdemeanor.
