(A) Stop signs. The Director of Public Works is hereby authorized and directed to place and maintain, or cause to be placed and maintained, in each and every street intersecting a through street designated in this article, at or near the property line of the through street, appropriate signs upon the street to bear the word “STOP” and to be located so as to be clearly legible at a distance of at least 100 feet along the street intersecting the through street. All such signs shall conform to such standards as may be established by state statute. All such signs shall be illuminated at night or be so placed as to be illuminated by street lights or by the headlights of approaching vehicles.
(B) Other signs. The Director of Public Works is hereby authorized and directed to erect and maintain appropriate signs for one-way streets and alleys, load limits, prohibited parking, loading zones, bus and taxicab stands, signs prohibiting construction traffic, and any other sign regulating traffic and parking as deemed necessary by the corporate authorities, required by state statute, or otherwise authorized in this code. No such regulations shall be effective unless such signs are in place. In determining at what locations signs shall be placed prohibiting construction traffic, the Director of Public Works shall consider the damage to unfinished, new or existing roads which would take place if construction traffic were permitted to traverse the roads. Signs prohibiting the passage of construction traffic shall not be in place for a period of more than one year without the prohibition being acted upon by the Village Board. The Village Board intends to delegate to the Director of Public Works its authority to prohibit construction traffic whenever, in the opinion of the Director of Public Works, the passage of such traffic would unduly damage the roadway.
