(a)
The
chief of police shall design an appropriate sign to be used upon streets
for the purpose of controlling the right-of-way at the intersections
other than through streets and state highways. The sign shall bear
the word "yield," and when its design has been approved by resolution
of the city council it shall be an official sign for streets.
(b)
The
chief of police shall investigate unmarked intersections of nonthrough
streets and determine which are hazardous, and at each such intersection
he shall install yield signs to control and restrict travel over the
intersecting street that he generally finds receives, or for proper
traffic movement should receive, a larger proportion of vehicular
traffic.
[Code 1984, ch. 10, § 10(D)(1)]
The driver of a vehicle approaching an intersection where a
yield sign is erected at the vehicle's entrance thereto shall retard
the speed of his vehicle so as to yield right-of-way to any vehicle
within the intersection or to vehicles approaching on the intersecting
street so closely as to constitute an immediate hazard.
[Code 1984, ch. 10, § 10(D)(2)]
Proof that any driver drove past any yield sign and immediately
thereafter was involved with or interfered with the movement of a
vehicle proceeding along the intersecting street shall constitute
prima facie proof of a violation of this division.
[Code 1984, ch. 10, § 10(D)(3)]
