§ 42-188. VEHICLE TURNING LEFT AT INTERSECTION.
   The driver of a vehicle within an intersection intending to turn to the left shall yield the right-of-way to any vehicle approaching from the opposite direction which is within the intersection or so close thereto as to constitute an immediate hazard. After so yielding and having given signal when and as required by this code, the driver may make the left turn, and the drivers of all other vehicles approaching the intersection from the opposite direction shall yield the right-of-way to the vehicle making the left turn.
(Prior Code, § 42-188)
Statutory reference:
   Vehicle turning left, see 47 O.S. § 11-402
§ 42-189. VEHICLE APPROACHING A YIELD RIGHT-OF-WAY SIGN.
   The driver of a vehicle approaching a yield right-of-way sign shall slow to a reasonable speed for existing conditions of traffic and visibility, or shall stop if necessary as provided in 47 O.S. § 11-703(e), yielding the right-of-way to any pedestrian legally crossing the roadway on which the driver is driving and to all vehicles in the intersection or approaching on the intersecting street or highway so close 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 in a crosswalk or vehicle in the intersection after driving past a yield sign without stopping, such collision shall be deemed prima facie evidence of the driver’s failure to yield the right-of-way.
(Prior Code, § 42-189)
Statutory reference:
   Vehicle entering yield intersection, see 47 O.S. § 11-403(C)
§ 42-190. VEHICLE ENTERING THROUGH HIGHWAY.
   Except when directed to proceed by a police officer or a traffic control signal, every driver of a vehicle approaching a stop intersection indicated by a stop sign shall stop as required by this code 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. The driver having so yielded may proceed, and the drivers of all other vehicles approaching the intersection shall yield the right-of-way to the vehicle so proceeding.
(Prior Code, § 42-190)
Statutory reference:
   Vehicle entering stop intersection, see 47 O.S. § 11-403(B)
§ 42-191. VEHICLES FACING STOP, SLOW, WARNING, OR CAUTION SIGNAL.
   If two or more vehicles face stop, slow, warning, or caution signs or signals at an intersection on two or more intersecting cross streets and are approaching as to enter the intersection at the same time, the following rules shall apply.
   (A)   If each vehicle is required to stop, the vehicle coming from the right shall have the right-of-way.
   (B)   If each vehicle is required to slow, the vehicle coming from the right shall have the right-of-way.
   (C)   If each vehicle is required to take caution, the vehicle coming from the right shall have the right-of-way.
   (D)   If one vehicle is required to stop and the other to slow or take caution, the one slowing or taking caution shall have the right-of-way.
   (E)   If one vehicle is required to slow and the other to take caution, the one required to take caution shall have the right-of-way.
   (F)   In any event, a vehicle which has already entered the intersection shall have the right-of-way over one which has not entered the intersection.
(Prior Code, § 42-191)
Statutory reference:
   Vehicle entering stop, slow, warning, or caution sign intersection, see 47 O.S. § 11-403(D)
§ 42-192. THROUGH STREETS.
   (A)   The City Council may designate any street or part of a street a through street.
   (B)   Whenever the City Council designates and describes a through street, the Business Manager shall have placed and maintained a stop sign, or yield sign, if deemed more appropriate, shall be placed and maintained on every street intersecting a through street, or intersecting that portion thereof, unless traffic at such intersection is controlled at all times by traffic control signals.
   (C)   At the intersection of two such through streets or at the intersection of a through street and a heavy traffic street not so designated, stop signs shall be erected at the approaches of either of the streets as may be determined by the Business Manager if deemed desirable.
(Prior Code, § 42-192)
Statutory reference:
   Authority to designate through streets, see 47 O.S. § 1148
§ 42-193. INTERSECTIONS WHERE STOP OR YIELD REQUIRED.
   The City Council, by motion or resolution, is hereby authorized to determine and designate intersections upon other than through streets where particular hazards exist and to determine whether:
   (A)   Vehicles shall stop at one or more entrances to any such stop intersection, in which event, it shall cause to be erected a stop sign at every such place a stop is required; or
   (B)   Vehicles shall yield the right-of-way to vehicles on a different street as provided in this code, in which event, it shall cause to be erected a yield sign at every place where yield is required.
(Prior Code, § 42-193)
Statutory reference:
   Authority to designate, see 47 O.S. § 1148
