The provisions of this Traffic Code regulating the movement, parking and standing of vehicles shall not apply to authorized emergency vehicles while the driver of such vehicle is operating the same in an emergency in the necessary performance of public duties. This exemption shall not, however, protect the driver of any such vehicle from the consequences of a reckless disregard of the safety of others.
(1958 Code § 16.32)
Nothing in this Traffic Code shall be construed or pleaded as justifying, absolving or rendering blameless, either directly or indirectly, any person in charge of or owning any vehicle for any injury or damage to persons or property due to recklessness, incompetency or negligence in the operation of such vehicle.
(1958 Code § 16.33)
No person, without the consent of the Chief of the Fire Division or his assistant in command, shall drive any vehicle over any unprotected fire hose of the Fire Division within the corporate limits of the City. The driver of any moving vehicle, upon the approach of any fire engine or fire apparatus, shall immediately draw up the vehicle as near as possible to the right-hand curb and shall bring the vehicle to a standstill until after such fire engine or fire apparatus has passed. No vehicle, except by specific direction from the Chief of the Fire Division, or his assistant, shall follow, approach or park closer than 300 feet from a fire or fire apparatus. The provisions of this section shall not be construed to apply to vehicles carrying doctors, members of the Fire Division or drivers of ambulances when emergency calls require the abrogation of the fire traffic rules mentioned herein.
(1958 Code § 16.34)
(a) The following streets within the City are hereby declared to be arterial streets:
(1) Illinois Street (Federal Highway No. 30) from the eastern corporate limits to the western corporate limits of the City;
(2) Tenth Avenue from Illinois Street south to its junction with Eleventh Avenue and Eleventh Avenue south to the southernmost City limits (State Highway No. 19-City Route);
(3) Thirteenth Avenue from Cedar Street to Lodgepole Road;
(4) Cedar Street from Thirteenth Avenue to Seventeenth Avenue; and
(5) Seventeenth Avenue from Grant Street to Ash Street.
(b) Such arterial streets described above shall be marked at the corners of the intersections with the streets crossing them by signs bearing the word "STOP." Unless otherwise directed by an automatic traffic signal, no driver of any vehicle, before entering any intersection of such arterial street, shall fail to come to a complete stop, and, after having come to such stop, to proceed into such intersection until such movement can be made in reasonable safety, consideration being given to the condition of traffic on such arterial street.
(1958 Code § 16.35)
When two vehicles approach or enter an intersection at approximately the same time, the driver of the vehicle on the left shall yield the right of way to the vehicle on the right when the paths of such vehicles intersect and there is danger of a collision, unless otherwise directed by traffic police stationed at the intersection. The driver of a vehicle approaching but not having entered an intersection shall yield the right of way to a vehicle within such intersection or turning therein to the left across the line of travel of the approaching vehicle, if the driver of the vehicle turning left has given a plainly visible signal of his intention to turn as required in this Traffic Code. The driver of a vehicle on any street shall yield the right of way to a pedestrian crossing such street within any clearly marked crosswalk or at any regular pedestrian crossing at the end of a block, except where the movement of traffic is being regulated by traffic officers or traffic direction devices. Every pedestrian crossing a street at any point other than a pedestrian crossing, crosswalk or intersection shall yield the right of way to vehicles upon the street. The driver of a vehicle entering a street from a private road or drive shall yield the right of way to all vehicles approaching on such streets. The driver of a vehicle upon a street shall yield the right of way to authorized emergency vehicles when the latter are operating upon official business and the drivers thereof sound an audible signal by bell, siren or exhaust whistle.
(1958 Code § 16.37)
Upon all highways of sufficient width, except one-way streets, the driver of a vehicle shall drive such vehicle upon the right half of the roadway. In passing or meeting, drivers shall give each other, as nearly as possible, at least one-half of the main-traveled portion of the roadway. The driver of a vehicle shall not drive to the left of the centerline of a highway in overtaking and passing another vehicle proceeding in the same direction unless such left side is clearly visible and is free of oncoming traffic for a sufficient distance ahead to permit such overtaking and passing to be made in safety.
(1958 Code § 16.39)
