10.20.005   Definitions.
      1.   "Conventional intersection" means a yield controlled intersection of a roadway that directly intersects another roadway at an angle, typically in the shape of a T, Y or cross.
      2.   "Roundabout intersection" means a yield controlled intersection of a roadway that indirectly intersects another roadway by a circular road that has a circular raised island. Vehicles entering the circular roadway must yield to vehicles already in the circular roadway.
      3.   "Yield controlled intersection" means a conventional intersection or roundabout intersection at which one or more drivers is legally required to yield the right-of-way to another driver on which yield signs have been posted.
(Ord. 2016-53 § 3, 2016)
10.20.010   State provisions adopted.
   The state traffic laws regulating yield controlled intersections apply upon all streets and highways within the county, except in any incorporated city or town. The driver of a vehicle shall yield as required by ARS Section 28-855, as amended, at the intersecting roadways when and to the extent that yield signs are posted.
(Ord. 2016-53 § 3, 2016)
10.20.020   Recommendations by engineer—Conventional and roundabout intersection installation and maintenance.
   The county engineer, upon finding on the basis of an engineering study and engineering judgment that a conventional or roundabout intersection designation is reasonably necessary for the ordinary protection and convenience of the traveling public of the county; shall approve the intersection to be designated as such or, in the county engineer's discretion, make recommendations for the intersection to be designated as such to the board of supervisors.
   Upon approval, the county engineer is directed to install and maintain yield signs at one or more entrances to the designated conventional intersection or roundabout intersection. These signs shall be erected, when appropriate, and maintained so as to require the traffic at the designated intersection to yield before entering or crossing the conventional intersection or entering the roundabout.
(Ord. 2021-11 § 5 (part), 2021; Ord. 2016-53 § 3, 2016)
