§47-11-403.
(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) 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 as required by
Section 11-703(d) and after having stopped shall yield the
right-of-way to any vehicle which has entered the intersection from
another highway or which is approaching so closely on said highway as
to constitute an immediate hazard, but said driver having so yielded
may proceed and the drivers of all other vehicles approaching the
intersection shall yield the right-of-way to the vehicle so
proceeding.
(c) The driver of a vehicle approaching a yield sign shall in
obedience to such sign slow down to a speed reasonable for the
existing conditions, or shall stop if necessary as provided in
Section 11-703(e), and shall yield the right-of-way to any pedestrian
legally crossing the roadway on which he is driving, and to any
vehicle in the intersection or approaching on another highway so
closely as to constitute an immediate hazard. Said driver having so
yielded may proceed and the drivers of all other vehicles approaching
the intersection shall yield to the vehicle so proceeding, provided,
however, that if such driver is involved in a collision with a
pedestrian in a crosswalk or vehicle in the intersection after
driving past a yield sign without stopping, such collision shall be
deemed prima facie evidence of his failure to yield right of way.
(d) Where two or more vehicles face stop, slow, warning or
caution signs or signals on two or more intersecting cross streets,
and are approaching so as to enter the intersection at the same time,
where each vehicle is required to stop, the vehicle coming from the
right shall have the right-of-way. Where each vehicle is required to
slow the vehicle coming from the right shall have the right-of-way.
Where each vehicle is required to take caution, the vehicle coming
from the right shall have the right-of-way. Where one vehicle is
required to stop and the other to slow or take caution, the one
slowing or taking caution shall have the right-of-way. Where one
vehicle is required to slow and the other to take caution, the one
required to take caution shall have the right-of-way. In any event,
a vehicle which has already entered the intersection shall have the
right-of-way over one which has not so entered the intersection.
