   (a) Preferential right of way at an intersection may be indicated by
   stop signs or yield signs as authorized in Section 15-108 of this act.
   
   (b) Every stop sign and every yield sign shall be erected 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 near as
   practicable to the nearest line of the intersecting roadway, however
   such yield signs shall not be erected upon the approaches of but one
   of the intersecting streets.
   
   (c) Every stop sign shall bear the word "Stop". Every yield sign
   hereafter erected or replaced shall bear the word "Yield". Every stop
   sign and every yield sign shall at nighttime be rendered luminous by
   internal illumination, or by a floodlight projected on the face of the
   sign, or by efficient reflecting elements in or on the face of the
   sign.
   
   (d) Except when directed to proceed by a police officer or
   traffic-control signal, every driver of a vehicle approaching a stop
   intersection indicated by a stop sign shall stop before entering the
   crosswalk on the near side of the intersection or, in the event there
   is no crosswalk, shall stop at a clearly marked stop line, but if
   none, then at the point nearest the intersecting roadway where the
   driver has a view of approaching traffic on the intersecting roadway
   before entering the intersection.
   
   (e) The driver of a vehicle approaching a yield sign if required for
   safety to stop shall stop before entering the crosswalk on the near
   side of the intersection or, in the event there is no crosswalk, at a
   clearly marked stop line, but if none, then at the point nearest the
   intersecting roadway where the driver has a view of approaching
   traffic on the intersecting roadway.
