(A) The City Manager, subject to direction by the City Council, is authorized to determine and designate intersections where a particular hazard exists upon other than through streets and to determine:
(1) Whether vehicles shall stop at one or more entrances to any such intersection, in which event he or she shall cause to be erected a stop sign at every such place where a stop is required; or
(2) Whether vehicles shall yield the right-of-way to vehicles on a different street at such intersection as prescribed in § 71.111 of this subchapter, in which event he or she shall cause to be erected a yield sign at every place where obedience thereto is required.
(B) Every stop sign and every yield 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 near as practicable to the nearest line of the intersecting roadway.
(C) Every stop sign shall bear the word “stop” in letters not less than eight inches in height. Every yield sign shall bear the word “yield” in letters not less than seven inches in height. Every stop sign and every yield sign shall, at nighttime, be rendered luminous by internal illumination, by a floodlight project on the face of the sign or by efficient reflecting elements in the face of the sign.
