In order to expedite the determination and designation of through highways and stop intersections for the purpose of regulating vehicular traffic upon the highways, to require vehicles to stop before entering or crossing through highways and to require vehicles to stop before entering a stop intersection, the City Council may, by resolution, designate any highway or street within the City as a through highway. The City Council may designate by resolution, any intersection within the City a stop intersection. Upon said intersection being so designated a stop intersection all vehicles shall be required to stop at one or more of the entrances to the intersection as may be prescribed in the resolution.
When the City Council of the City, by resolution designates any highway as a through highway, or designates any intersection as stop intersection, all vehicular traffic shall stop before entering or crossing the designated through highway and all vehicular traffic shall stop at one or more entrances to the intersection as required by the resolution when stop signs are erected at the entrances to the highway or part thereof affected.
