The fact that the speed of a vehicle is lower than the limits set out in the Traffic Schedules shall not relieve the driver from the duty to decrease speed when approaching and crossing an intersection, when approaching and going around a curve, when approaching a hill crest, when traveling on any narrow or winding roadway, or when a special hazard exists with respect to pedestrians or other traffic, or by reason of weather or highway conditions. Speed shall be decreased as may be necessary to avoid colliding with any other person, vehicle, or other conveyance on or entering the highway in compliance with legal requirements and the duty of all persons to use due care. A violation of this section is punishable as a misdemeanor.

STOP OR YIELD REGULATIONS
(A) Those streets and parts of streets described in Traffic Schedule XXI, hereby made a part hereof, are declared to be through streets for the purpose of this subchapter.
('58 Code, § 16-24(a))
(B) Whenever any ordinance designates and describes a through street, there shall be a stop or yield right-of-way sign on each street intersecting the through street or intersecting a portion thereof described and designated as a through street by any ordinance, unless traffic at the intersection is controlled at all times by traffic-control signals. However, at the intersection of two through streets or at the intersection of a through street and a heavy traffic street not so designated, or at the intersection of two other streets neither of which is designated a through street, signs shall be erected at the approaches of either of the streets.
The City Council may determine and designate intersections where particular hazards exist on other than through streets, and may determine whether vehicles shall stop at one or more entrances to the stop intersection, and shall erect a stop sign at every place where a stop is required. These places are specified in Traffic Schedule XXII, hereby made a part hereof.
When stop signs are erected as herein authorized at or near the entrance to any intersection, every driver of a vehicle shall stop before entering the crosswalk on the near side of the intersection, or in the event there is no crosswalk shall stop at a clearly marked stop line. If there is no stop line, the driver shall stop at a point nearest the intersecting roadway where the driver has a view of approaching traffic on the intersecting roadway before entering the intersection, except when directed to proceed by a police officer or traffic-control signal. A violation of this section is punishable as a misdemeanor.
