(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.

Authority to designate through streets, see 47 O.S. § 1148
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
Except when directed by a police officer or traffic control signal, every driver of a vehicle approaching a stop intersection, indicated by a stop sign, shall stop before entering the crosswalk on the near side of the intersection. If there is no crosswalk, the driver shall stop at a clearly marked stop line before entering the intersection. If there is no marked stop line, then the driver shall stop at the point nearest the intersecting road where the driver has a view of approaching traffic on an intersecting roadway before entering the intersection. A driver after having stopped shall yield the right-of-way to any vehicle which has entered the intersection from another highway or road, or which is approaching so close as to constitute an immediate hazard; but the driver having so yielded may then proceed, and the driver of all other vehicles approaching the intersection shall yield the right-of-way to the vehicle so proceeding.
(Prior Code, § 42-195)

Yield intersections, see 47 O.S. § 11-403(B)
