(Amended by Ord. No. 134,523, Eff. 7/17/67.)
(a) The Department is hereby authorized to determine those approaches to intersections of streets and highways which are not through streets, at which there is a special hazard to life or property by reason of the volume of traffic at such intersections, or because of the lack of visibility to the drivers of vehicles approaching such intersection, or because of the number of reported accidents or the apparent probability thereof, or by reason of physical conditions which render such intersections exceptionally dangerous or hazardous to life or property, and where the factors creating the special hazard are such that, according to the principles and experience of traffic engineering, the installation of “Yield” signs is reasonably calculated to reduce the expectancy of accidents, and that the use of warning signs would be inadequate.
(b) When such determination has been made, the Department is directed to designate any such approaches as “yield” approaches and post such “Yield” signs as are necessary to give effect to such designation
