The operator of a vehicle intending to turn to the left within an
intersection, or intending to turn left into any alley, private road or
driveway, shall yield the right-of-way to any vehicle approaching from the
opposite direction which is within the intersection or so close thereto as to
constitute an immediate hazard; but the operator, having so yielded and having
given a signal when and as required by this title, may make such left turn and

yield the right-of-way to the vehicle making the left turn. (Ord. 413 §

other vehicles, approaching the intersection on the through street shall yield
the right-of-way to the vehicle so proceeding into or across the through
street.
B. The operator of a vehicle shall likewise stop in obedience to
a stop sign as required in this title at an intersection where a stop sign is

street, and shall proceed cautiously, yielding to vehicles not so obligated to
stop which are within the intersection or approaching so closely as to
constitute an immediate hazard. (Ord. 413 § 10-11.3, 1965)
