A. Signs Posted: Pursuant to state law, the public works director is hereby ordered to erect yield signs upon direction of the village board of trustees. Every sign shall be erected according to standards set forth in the Illinois sign manual adopted by the state department of transportation. (1985 Code § 6-6-1; amd. 2016 Code)
B. Duty Of Driver When Approaching A Yield Sign: The driver of a vehicle approaching a yield sign shall:
1. If required for safety to stop, stop before entering the crosswalk on the near side of the intersection or, in the event there is no crosswalk, 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. At marked crosswalks not at an intersection, the driver shall stop at the near side of the crosswalk and yield the right of way to all pedestrians thereon before proceeding across it.
2. In obedience to such sign, slow down to a speed reasonable for the existing conditions and shall yield the right of way to any vehicle in the intersection or approaching on another highway so closely as to constitute an immediate hazard during the time such driver is moving across or within the intersection.
