The public works director is hereby authorized to determine and designate intersections where a particular hazard exists and determine whether vehicles shall stop at one or more entrances to such intersections, and shall erect a stop sign at every such place where a stop is required. Stop signs shall be installed only at those locations determined to meet the “warrants” (criteria) in the current edition of the Texas Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices. When stop signs have been erected as provided herein, or by state law, no driver of a vehicle shall disobey the directions of such signs. In addition, the public works director is hereby authorized to determine and designate intersections where a particular hazard exists and determine whether vehicles on one of the intersecting streets shall yield the right-of-way to vehicles on the other street and to erect a yield right-of-way sign or a yield sign at every such place where required. Yield signs shall be installed only at those locations determined to meet the “warrants” (criteria) established in the current edition of the Texas Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices. When yield signs have been erected as provided herein, or by state law, no driver of a vehicle shall disobey the directions of such signs.
