Minneapolis Code of Ordinances § 474.560
in effect474.560. - Obedience to through streets and stop intersections.
The city council may designate through streets or highways and erect stop or yield signs at entrances thereto or may designate any intersection as a stop or yield intersection by erecting like signs at one or more entrances to such intersection. With reference to state trunk highways, the city council may designate through highway or stop or yield intersections only with the consent of the commissioner.
(a) Every driver of a vehicle shall stop at any such stop sign or at a clearly marked stop line before entering an intersection except when directed to proceed by a police officer or traffic-control signal.
(b) The driver of a vehicle shall stop as required by this section at the entrance to a through highway and shall yield the right-of-way to other vehicles which have entered the intersection from the through highway or which are approaching so closely on the through highway as to constitute an immediate hazard, but the driver having so yielded may proceed, and the drivers of all other vehicles approaching the intersection on the through highway shall yield the right-of-way to the vehicles so proceeding into or across the through highway.
(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 highway, 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 may then proceed.
(d) The driver of every vehicle on any highway in this city shall bring such vehicle to a complete stop before crossing or entering upon an intersecting highway, where and when there is in place on the approaches to or within such intersecting highway any light, sign, standard or marking upon which appears the word "STOP" or the words "STOP, SCHOOL."
(e) Folding type stop signs erected at any designated school crossing location, may be operated and used to regulate traffic so as to require a stop during the hours between 7:45 a.m. and 4:15 p.m. on those days the school is in session. (Code 1960, As Amend., § 409.030)
