39:4-144. No driver of a vehicle or street car shall enter upon or cross an intersecting street

marked with a “stop” sign unless:

a.     The driver has first brought the vehicle or street car to a complete stop at a point within

five feet of the nearest crosswalk or stop line marked upon the pavement at the near side of the

intersecting street and shall proceed only after yielding the right of way to all vehicular traffic on

the intersecting street which is so close as to constitute an immediate hazard.

b.     No driver of a vehicle or street car shall enter upon or cross an intersecting street marked

with a “yield right of way” sign without first slowing to a reasonable speed for existing

conditions and visibility, stopping if necessary, and the driver shall yield the right of way to all

vehicular traffic on the intersecting street which is so close as to constitute an immediate

hazard; unless, in either case, the driver is otherwise directed to proceed by a traffic or police

officer or traffic control signal.

c.     No driver of a vehicle or street car shall turn right at an intersecting street marked with a

“stop” sign or “yield right of way” sign unless the driver stops and remains stopped for

pedestrians crossing the roadway within a marked crosswalk, or at an unmarked crosswalk, into

which the driver is turning.
