§ 10.04.050. Through streets and stop intersections.

A.

The intersections described in Schedules A, B and C, available at the office of the village clerk, are designated two-way, three-way and four-way stop intersections, as described in such schedules. The intersections described in Schedule D, available at the office of the village clerk, are designated stop and yield intersections. The chief of police shall erect and maintain stop signs in conformity with state law at the entrances to the through streets and stop intersections described in such schedules.

B.

Where such stop signs are erected the driver of a vehicle shall stop as required by this section at the entrance to a through street and shall yield the right-of-way to other vehicles which have entered the intersection from the through street or which are approaching so closely on the through street as to constitute an immediate hazard; but the driver having so yielded may proceed at such time as a safe interval occurs.

C.

The driver of a vehicle shall likewise stop in obedience to a stop sign as required herein at an intersection where a stop sign is erected at one or more entrances thereto, although not a part of a through street, and shall proceed cautiously, yielding to vehicles not so obliged to stop which are within the intersection or approaching so closely as to constitute an immediate hazard, but then may proceed.

D.

Where stop signs are in place at an intersection or at a plainly marked crosswalk between intersections, drivers of vehicles shall stop before entering the nearest crosswalk and pedestrians within or entering the crosswalk at either edge of the roadway shall have the right-of-way over vehicles so stopped. Drivers of vehicles having so yielded the right-of-way to pedestrians entering or within the nearest crosswalk at an intersection shall also yield the right-of-way to pedestrians within any other crosswalk at the intersection.

E.

Every driver of a vehicle approaching a stop sign shall stop before entering the crosswalk on the near side of the intersection, or in the event there is no crosswalk shall stop at a clearly marked stop line, but if none, then at the point nearest the intersecting roadway where the driver has a view of approaching traffic on the intersecting street before entering the intersection except when directed to proceed by a police officer or traffic control signal.
