(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.

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)
Statutory reference:
Yield intersections, see 47 O.S. § 11-403(B)
The driver of a vehicle approaching a yield sign shall, in observance to such sign, slow down to a speed reasonable for the existing condition or shall stop if necessary and shall yield the right-of-way to any pedestrian legally crossing the roadway on which he or she is driving and to any vehicle in the intersection or approaching on another road so closely as to constitute an immediate hazard. The driver having so yielded may then proceed, and drivers of all other vehicles approaching the intersection shall yield to the vehicle so proceeding. A driver who enters a yield intersection without stopping and has or causes a collision with a pedestrian at a crosswalk or a vehicle in the intersection shall prima facie be considered not to have yielded as required herein. The provisions of this section shall not release the drivers of other vehicles approaching the intersection at such a distance as not to constitute an immediate hazard from the duty to drive with due care to avoid a collision. The driver of a vehicle approaching a yield sign, if required for safety to stop, shall stop before entering the crosswalk of the near side of the intersection before entering the intersection; if there is no crosswalk, the driver shall stop at a clearly marked stop line or, if there is not a stop line, then at the point nearest the intersecting roadway where the driver has a view of approaching traffic on the intersecting roadway.

Statutory reference:
Yield intersections, see 47 O.S. § 11-403(C)
The driver of the vehicle about to enter, leave, or cross a highway from or into a private road or driveway shall yield the right-of-way to all vehicles approaching on the highway.
(Prior Code, § 42-197)
Statutory reference:
Vehicles entering highway, see 47 O.S. § 11-404
Any vehicle attempting to reenter traffic while parked at the curb shall yield the right-of-way to oncoming traffic in the street approaching from the rear. The parked vehicle shall proceed into the line of traffic only after the driver has given the appropriate signal which indicates his or her intention of turning from the curb and into the line of traffic. The vehicle shall in no event enter the line of traffic until the driver has ascertained that no hazard exists.
(Prior Code, § 42-198)
The driver of a vehicle emerging from an alley, driveway, or building shall stop such vehicle immediately prior to driving onto a sidewalk or onto the sidewalk area extending across any alleyway or driveway, and shall yield the right-of-way to any pedestrian as may be necessary to avoid collision, and upon entering the roadway, shall yield the right-of-way to all vehicles approaching on the roadway.
