(a) All state routes are hereby designated as through streets or highways, provided that stop signs, yield signs or traffic-control signals shall be erected at all intersections with such through streets or highways, except as otherwise provided in this section. Where two or more state routes that are through streets or highways intersect and no traffic- control signal is in operation, stop signs or yield signs shall be erected at one or more entrances thereto by the state’s Department of Transportation, except as otherwise provided in this section.
(b) Whenever the state’s Director of Transportation determines on the basis of an engineering and traffic investigation that stop signs are necessary to stop traffic on a through highway for safe and efficient operation, nothing in this section shall be construed to prevent such installations. When circumstances warrant, the Director also may omit stop signs on roadways intersecting through highways under his or her jurisdiction. Before the Director either installs or removes a stop sign under this division (b), he or she shall give notice, in writing, of that proposed action to the municipality at least 30 days before installing or removing the stop sign.
(c) Other streets or highways or portions thereof, are hereby designated through streets or highways, if they are within the municipality, if they have a continuous length of more than one mile between the limits of such street or highway or portion thereof, and if they have “stop” or “yield” signs or traffic-control signals at the entrances of the majority of intersecting streets or highways. For purposes of this section, the limits of such street or highway or portion thereof, shall be a municipal corporation line, the physical terminus of the street or highway or any point on such street or highway at which vehicular traffic thereon is required by regulatory signs to stop or yield to traffic on the intersecting street, provided that in residence districts the municipality may by ordinance designate such street or highway, or portion thereof, not to be a through highway and thereafter the affected residence district shall be indicated by official traffic-control devices. Where two or more streets or highways designated under this division (c) intersect and no traffic-control signal is in operation, stop signs or yield signs shall be erected at one or more entrances thereto by the state’s Department of Transportation or by Council or the authorized local authority, except as otherwise provided in this section.
(d) Stop signs need not be erected at intersections so constructed as to permit traffic to safely enter a through street or highway without coming to a stop. Signs shall be erected at such intersections indicating that the operator of a vehicle shall yield the right-of-way to or merge with all traffic proceeding on the through street or highway.
(e) The City Council hereby designates additional through streets as follows, and shall erect stop or yield signs in all streets intersecting such through streets unless traffic-control signals have been placed at such intersections: Euclid Avenue from southerly to northeasterly corporate limits; Superior Road from Euclid Avenue to easterly corporate limits; Superior Avenue from Euclid Avenue to westerly corporate limits; Forest Hills Boulevard from Euclid Avenue to easterly corporate limits, except at Lee Boulevard; Lee Boulevard from Euclid Avenue to southerly corporate limits, except northbound traffic shall stop at Glynn Road; Coit Avenue from Euclid to Elm Avenues; East 152nd Street from Coit Avenue to northerly corporate limits; Noble Road from East 152nd Street to southerly corporate limits, except at Euclid Avenue; Belvoir Boulevard from northerly to easterly corporate limits, except at Hillsboro Road; Hillsboro Road from Euclid Avenue to Belvoir Boulevard; Northvale Boulevard from Forest Hills Boulevard to easterly corporate limits, except westbound traffic shall yield to Forest Hills Boulevard traffic; and Ivanhoe Road from Euclid Avenue to northwesterly corporate limits.
(f) Eddy Road from Euclid Avenue to northerly corporate limits is hereby designated to be a non-through street.
