Whenever state law grants discretion to local authorities in erecting or placing of a uniform traffic control device, devices shall be erected in such locations and in such a manner as in the judgment of the chief of police of the city will carry out the purposes of this code and give adequate warning to users of the streets and highways of the city.

Upon erection of the above described yield sign or signs, the street superintendent shall file with the city clerk a statement setting forth the location of each yield sign, the direction of traffic on said street or highway which is regulated by said yield sign and the date on which the yield sign was erected. In the event that the chief of police deems it necessary or advisable in the interest of public safety to remove a yield sign previously erected, the street superintendent shall file with the city clerk a statement as to the location of the yield sign to be removed, the street or highway previously regulated by the yield sign, the direction of the travel on said street or highway previously regulated, and the date which said yield sign was removed.
