(A) The driver of a vehicle approaching a yield sign, if required for safety to stop, shall stop before entering the crosswalk on the near side of the intersection, or in the event there is no crosswalk, the driver shall stop at a clearly-marked stop line, or if there is no stop line, then at the point nearest the intersecting roadway where the driver has a view of approaching traffic on the intersecting roadway.
(B) The driver approaching a yield sign 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 highway so closely so 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 to the vehicle so proceeding.
(C) However, if such driver is involved in a collision with a pedestrian in a crosswalk or a vehicle in the intersection after driving past a yield sign without stopping, then such collision shall be deemed prima facie evidence of his or her failure to yield the right-of-way.
