All public streets in the town street system shall be considered prima facie as preferential streets with respect to any privately owned, operated and maintained conjoining roads, driveways and other vehicular entrances. With the exception of driveways leading from one and two-family dwellings, but including roads or driveways from multifamily dwellings, privately operated common roads in residential subdivisions, commercial and industrial drives and roads, the Town Council, upon the recommendation of the town street supervisor or Town Marshal, may adopt and serve a written order requiring the operator of the conjoining private entrance to erect and maintain thereon at the entrance to the town street system such stop or yield, turn restriction or directional control signs or signals as may be deemed necessary to regulate traffic traveling on the private roadway, protect the safety and convenience of traffic on the public street and enforce the preferentiality of the public street. When an order is issued in accordance with this section, the traffic regulations shall be considered to have been established under authority of this section and any further ordinance is not required. If necessary, compliance with the order may be enforced in accordance with I.C. 36-1-6-2 or I.C. 36-1-6-4(a). Traffic regulations established under this section shall be enforceable by the town authorities and subject to the same penalties for violation as in the case of other town traffic regulations in accordance with §§ 70.20 et seq.
