§ 86-47. Authority to erect signs and paint letters on pavement at through streets.

Whenever this chapter or other ordinance of this city designates and describes a street as a through street, it shall be the duty of the traffic engineer to place and maintain a stop sign or, on the basis of an engineering and traffic investigation at any intersection, a yield sign, on every street intersecting such through street, unless traffic at any such intersection is controlled at all times by traffic control signals; provided that at the intersection of two such through streets or at the intersection of a through street and a heavy traffic street not so designated, stop signs shall be erected at the approaches of either of such streets as may be determined by the traffic engineer upon the basis of an engineering and traffic study. Where considered by the traffic engineer to be desirable, the word "stop" or "yield" may be painted on the pavement in addition to the erection of such sign.
