Whenever any ordinance of the City designates and describes a through street it shall be the duty of the City Traffic Engineer to place and maintain a stop sign, or on the basis of an engineering and traffic investigation at any intersection a yield sign, on each and every street intersecting such through street unless traffic at any such intersection is controlled at all times by traffic control signals; provided, however, that at the intersection of two (2) such through streets or at the intersection of a through street and a heavy traffic street not so designated, stop signs shall be erected at the approaches of either of said streets as may be determined by the City Traffic Engineer upon the basis of an engineering and traffic study.
The City Traffic Engineer is hereby authorized to determine and designate intersections where particular hazard exists upon other than through streets and to determine whether vehicles shall stop at one (1) or more entrances to any such intersection in which event he/she shall cause to be erected a stop sign at every such place where a stop is required, or whether vehicles shall yield the right-of-way to vehicles on a different street at such intersection as prescribed in Subsection (B) of Section 335.040, in which event he/she shall cause to be erected a yield sign at every place where obedience thereto is required.
Any need identified and proposed for the installation of stop signs and/or yield signs, including those presented by O'Fallon residents, will be evaluated by the City Traffic Engineer to determine if it meets specific criteria as provided in this Section of this Title.
Intersection of a less important road with a main road where application of the normal right-of-way rule is unduly hazardous.
Street entering a through highway or street.
Unsignalized intersection in a signalized area.
Other intersections where a combination of high speed, restricted view, and serious accident record indicates a need for control by the stop sign.
Stop signs should never be used on the through roadways of expressways.
Where electric traffic signals are warranted and urgently needed, the multi-way stop sign is an interim measure that can be installed quickly to control traffic while arrangements are being made for the electric signal installation.
An accident problem, as indicated by three (3) or more reported accidents in a twelve (12) month period, of a type susceptible of correction by the installation of a multi-way stop sign.
When the eighty-five (85) percentile approach speed of the major traffic exceeds forty (40) miles per hour, the minimum vehicular volume criteria is seventy percent (70%) of the above requirements.
At the entrance to an intersection where it is necessary to assign right-of-way and where the safe approach speed on the entrance exceed ten (10) miles per hour.
On the entrance ramp to an expressway where an acceleration lane is not provided.
At intersections on a divided highway where the median between the roadways is more than thirty (30) feet wide. At such intersections, a stop sign may be used as the entrance to the first roadway of the divided highway and a yield sign may be placed at the entrance to the second roadway.
Where there is a separate channelized right-turn lane, without an adequate acceleration lane.
At any intersection where a special problem exists and where an engineering study indicates the problem to be susceptible to correction by use of the yield sign.
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 Subsection (B) of Section 335.050, and after having stopped 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 such driver is moving across or within the intersection.
The driver of a vehicle approaching a yield sign shall in obedience to such sign 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, however, that if such a driver is involved in a collision with a vehicle in the intersection, after driving past a yield sign without stopping, such collision shall be deemed prima facie evidence of his/her failure to yield right-of-way.
The driver of a vehicle within a business or residence district emerging from an alley, driveway or building shall stop such vehicle immediately prior to driving onto a sidewalk or onto the sidewalk area extending across any alleyway or driveway, and shall yield the right-of-way to any pedestrian as may be necessary to avoid collision, and upon entering the roadway shall yield the right-of-way to all vehicles approaching on said roadway.
Any other traffic sign, device or any other act, rule, regulation or Statute requires a vehicle to stop at a railroad grade crossing.
No person shall drive any vehicle through, around or under any crossing gate or barrier at a railroad crossing when a train is approaching while such gate or barrier is closed or is being opened or closed.
