Sec. 11-302.
Authority to designate through highway and stop and yield
intersections.
(a) The Department with reference to State highways under its
jurisdiction, and local authorities
with reference to other highways under their jurisdiction, may designate
through highways and erect stop signs or yield signs at specified entrances
thereto, or may designate any intersection as a stop intersection or as a
yield intersection and erect stop signs or yield signs at one or more
entrances to such intersection. Designation of through highways and stop or
yield intersections and the erection of stop signs or yield signs on
township or road district roads are subject to the written approval of the
county engineer or superintendent of highways.
(b) Every stop sign and yield sign shall conform to the State Manual and
Specifications and shall be located as near as practicable to the nearest
line of the crosswalk on the near side of the intersection or, if there is
no crosswalk, then as close as practicable to the nearest line of the
intersecting roadway.
(c) The Department may in its discretion and when traffic conditions
warrant such action give preference to traffic upon any of the State
highways under its jurisdiction over traffic crossing or entering such
highway by erecting appropriate traffic control devices.
