Stop and yield sign legend.
Indianapolis-Marion County Revised Code § 441-413
in effectSec. 441-413. - Stop and yield sign legend.
Every stop and yield sign shall be erected and located in accordance with the manual and specifications approved by the Indiana State Highway Commission.
(1) Action upon approaching stop sign. When stop signs are erected, every driver shall stop at such sign or at a clearly marked stop line before entering the intersection, except when directed otherwise by an officer or traffic-control signal and shall enter the intersection only when it is safe to do so.
(2) Action upon approaching yield sign. The driver of the vehicle approaching a yield sign shall slow down to a speed reasonable for the existing conditions or shall stop if necessary and shall yield the right-of-way to any pedestrian crossing the road and to any vehicle in the intersection or approaching on another road so closely as to constitute an immediate hazard. Said driver having so yielded may proceed and the drivers of all other vehicles approaching the intersection shall yield to the vehicle so proceeding; provided, however, that if such driver is involved in a collision with a pedestrian at 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 his failure to yield the right-of-way.
(3) Emerging from alley or private driveway. Any driver emerging from an alley, driveway, lot or building into a road shall stop such vehicle immediately prior to driving upon the sidewalk extending across any alley or driveway, yielding the right-of-way to any pedestrian and, upon entering the roadway of the road, shall yield the right-of-way to all vehicles approaching in either direction on said roadway.
(4) Stop when traffic obstructed. No driver shall enter at an intersection or a marked crosswalk unless there is sufficient space on the other side of the intersection or crosswalk to accommodate the vehicle without obstructing the passage of other vehicles or pedestrians notwithstanding any traffic-control device.
