§ 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)

   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)

§ 42-194. RESERVED.
§ 42-195. VEHICLE ENTERING STOP INTERSECTION.
   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)
