(A) Stopping required. When stop signs are erected, every driver shall stop at the sign or at a clearly marked stop line before entering the intersection except when directed otherwise by an officer or traffic-control signal and shall enter the intersection only when it is safe to do so.
(B) Yielding required.
(1) All vehicles approaching a yield sign at any intersection shall approach the intersection with extreme caution and shall come to a complete stop in the event that other traffic is present on the preferential street at or near the intersection. The vehicle shall 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.
(2) A driver having so yielded may proceed and the drivers of all other vehicles approaching the intersection shall yield to the vehicle so proceeding; provided, however, that if the driver is involved in a collision with a pedestrian at a crosswalk or a vehicle in the intersection after driving past a yield sign, the collision shall be deemed prima facie evidence of the driver’s failure to yield the right-of-way.
Penalty, see §§ 3-2-8-1 et seq.
