A. The municipality may designate through streets and erect stop signs at specified entrances to these streets or may designate an intersection as a stop intersection and erect similar signs at one or more entrances to that intersection.
B. The sign shall bear the word "stop" in letters not less than eight inches in height and it shall be made luminous at nighttime by steady or flashing internal illumination, or by a fixed floodlight projected on the face of the sign, or by efficient reflecting elements on the face of the sign.
C. The stop sign shall be erected as near as practicable to the nearest line of the crosswalk on the near side of the intersection or, if there is no crosswalk, then as close as practicable to the nearest line of the road.
D. A driver of a vehicle approaching a stop sign shall stop before entering the crosswalk on the near side of the intersection or, in the event there is no crosswalk, he shall stop at a clearly marked stop line, but if none, then at the point nearest the intersecting roadway where the driver has a view of approaching traffic on the intersecting roadway before entering the intersection except when directed to proceed by a police officer or traffic-control signal.
