SEC. 72.92. VIOLATION OF ONE-WAY STREET SIGNS.

   It shall be unlawful for the operator of any vehicle traversing any portion of any one-way street as designated or established by resolution of the Board, to operate such vehicle thereon in violation of the one-way street signs placed by the Road Commissioner pursuant to this article.

ARTICLE 6. THROUGH HIGHWAYS -- STOP INTERSECTIONS -- YIELD RIGHT-OF-WAY INTERSECTIONS

SEC. 72.100. ROAD COMMISSIONER TO ERECT STOP SIGNS ON THROUGH HIGHWAYS.

   The Road Commissioner shall erect and maintain stop signs complying with the provisions of the Vehicle Code at all entrances to highways or portions of highways designated by the Board by resolutions as "through highways."

SEC. 72.101. ESTABLISHMENT OF STOP SIGNS AT STOP INTERSECTIONS.

   The Road Commissioner shall erect and maintain stop signs in compliance with the provisions of the Vehicle Code at the entrance to every intersection where a Civil or Traffic Engineer licensed by the State of California has determined traffic safety and/or intersectional operation will be enhanced, the proposed stop control shall be supported by a safe approach speed of less than 5 MPH and the Community Planning/Sponsor Group (where applicable). If there is opposition to the proposed stop control, the matter will be reviewed by the San Diego County Traffic Advisory Committee as a full item and a recommendation will be submitted to the Board. The Board can then determine if there is special hazard to life or property by reason of the volume of traffic at such intersection, 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 reasons of physical conditions which render any such intersection exceptionally dangerous or hazardous to life or property, and where the factors creating this special hazard are such that according to the principles and experience of traffic engineering, the installation of stop signs is reasonably calculated to reduce the expectancy of accidents and that the use of warning signs would be inadequate.

(Amended by Ord. No. 9900 (N.S.), effective 1-4-08)

SEC. 72.102. EMERGENCY STOP SIGNS.

   Where because of any emergency the conditions described in Section 72.101 exist, the Road Commissioner may erect or cause to be erected stop signs complying with the Vehicle Code, as provided in Section 72.101, and maintain such signs while such conditions continue to exist.

SEC. 72.103. ALL VEHICLES TO STOP AT STOP SIGNS.

   Where stop signs are erected as herein provided at or near the entrance to any intersection every operator of a vehicle shall stop such vehicle at such sign or at a clearly marked stop line before entering the intersections; provided, however, that no stop need be made at any such entrance or intersection where:

   (a)   An officer is on duty and directs traffic to proceed.

   (b)   A traffic signal is in operation and indicates that traffic may proceed.

   (c)   A stop sign has been removed or covered pursuant to this division.

SEC. 72.104. EMERGENCY REMOVAL OF STOP SIGNS.

   Where, because of temporary detours, or other emergency it would be impractical and a hazard to require a vehicle to stop at an intersection where a stop sign has been erected pursuant to this division and the Road Commissioner so finds, he shall either remove such sign or so cover it that no portion of the word "STOP" remains visible.

   At the termination of such emergency, unless the Board otherwise determines, the Road Commissioner shall restore such signs or uncover such signs.

SEC. 72.105. EMERGING FROM ALLEY OR PRIVATE DRIVEWAY.

   The driver of a vehicle emerging from an alley, driveway or building, shall stop such vehicle immediately prior to driving onto a sidewalk or into the sidewalk area extending across any alleyway.

SEC. 72.107. ROAD COMMISSIONER TO ERECT SIGNS AT YIELD RIGHT-OF-WAY INTERSECTIONS.

   The Road Commissioner shall erect and maintain "Yield Right-of-Way" signs complying with the provisions of the Vehicle Code to all approaches to highways and intersections of highways where a Civil or Traffic Engineer licensed by the State of California has determined traffic safety and/or intersectional operation will be enhanced, the proposed yield control shall be supported by a safe approach speed of less than 15 MPH and the Community Planning/Sponsor Group (where applicable). If there is opposition to the proposed yield control, the matter will be reviewed by the San Diego County Traffic Advisory Committee as a full item and a recommendation will be submitted to the Board. The Road Commissioner shall also erect and maintain "Yield Right-of-Way" signs when designated by the Board by resolution.
