A. 
A stop sign shall be erected on each and every street intersecting such through street or portion thereof so designated and at those entrances of other intersections where a stop is required and at any railroad grade crossing so designated.

Whenever any ordinance or resolution of the city designates any yield right-of-way intersection or yield right-of-way signs, the city traffic engineer shall place and maintain yield right-of-way signs giving notice thereof, and no such regulation shall become effective unless such signs are in place.
The driver of any vehicle upon approaching a yield right-of-way sign shall yield the right-of-way to other vehicles which have entered the intersection from an intersecting street or which are approaching so closely on the intersecting street as to constitute an immediate hazard, and shall continue to yield the right-of-way to such approaching vehicles until such time as he or she can proceed with reasonable safety. A driver, having so yielded, may then proceed, and the drivers of all other vehicles approaching the intersection on the intersecting roadway shall yield the right-of-way to him or her.
Any yield right-of-way signs erected by direction of the city traffic engineer shall be erected as prescribed by the applicable provisions of the State Vehicle Code.
(Prior code § 17-48)
