Indianapolis-Marion County Revised Code § 441-357
in effectSec. 441-357. - Duty of driver upon approaching a stop sign or a yield sign.
(a) When stop signs are erected pursuant to this division at or near the entrance to any intersection, every driver of a vehicle shall stop at the sign or at a clearly marked stop line before entering the intersection, except when directed to proceed by a police or traffic officer or by a traffic-control signal.
(b) The driver of a vehicle approaching a yield sign, in obedience to such 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 legally crossing the roadway on which he is driving and to any vehicle in the intersection or approaching on another street so closely as to constitute an immediate hazard. The 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, if the 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, the collision shall be deemed prima facie evidence of his failure to yield the right-of-way.
