After having stopped, the driver shall yield the right-of-way to any vehicle which has entered the intersection from another highway or which is approaching so closely on said highway as to constitute an immediate hazard during the time when the driver is moving across or within the intersection. (b) At a four-way stop intersection, the driver of the first vehicle to stop at the intersection shall be the first to proceed.

(4) A violation of this section is a noncriminal traffic infraction, punishable as a moving violation as provided in chapter 318.
