§ 12-35. Same—At stop or yield intersections.

A. 

Preferential right-of-way at an intersection may be indicated by stop signs or yield signs.

B. 

Except when directed to proceed by a police officer or traffic control signal, every driver of a vehicle approaching a stop intersection indicated by a stop sign shall stop as required by section 12-56, and after having stopped, shall yield the right-of-way to any vehicle which has entered the intersection from another street or which is approaching so closely on such street as to constitute an immediate hazard during the time when such driver is moving across or within the intersection.

C. 

The driver of a vehicle approaching a yield sign shall slow down to a speed reasonable for the existing conditions and shall yield the right-of-way to any vehicle in the intersection or approaching on another highway so closely as to constitute an immediate hazard during the time such driver is moving across or within the intersection; provided, that if such a driver is involved in a collision with a pedestrian in a crosswalk or a vehicle in the intersection after driving past a yield sign without stopping, such collision shall be deemed prima facie evidence of failure to yield the right-of-way.
