The driver of any vehicle on any street or other way intersecting
with a through street shall bring such vehicle to a full and complete
stop before entering such through street and shall yield the right-of-way
to any vehicle approaching on such through street.
(1975 Code, sec. 30-223; 2004 Code,
sec. 12.421)
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, 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 such streets as may be determined by the city traffic
engineer upon the basis of an engineering and traffic study.
(1975 Code, sec. 30-224; 2004 Code,
sec. 12.422)
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 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 a different street at such intersection, in which event
he shall cause to be erected a yield sign at every place where obedience
thereto is required.
