§ 45-39. Through streets and stop intersections.

(a)

Those streets or parts of streets forming the express street plan as designated by the city traffic engineer are hereby declared to be through or express streets for the purpose of this chapter. Whenever a street is designated and described as a through or express street, the traffic engineer may place and maintain a stop sign on each and every street intersecting such through street or intersecting that portion thereof described and designated as such, unless traffic at any such intersection is controlled at all times by traffic-control signals; provided, however, 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 or both of such streets as may be determined by the traffic engineer upon the basis of an engineering and traffic study.

(b)

The traffic engineer is hereby authorized to determine and designate intersections where a particular hazard exists upon other than through streets and to determine whether vehicles shall stop at one or more entrances to any such stop intersection, and shall erect a stop sign at every such place where a stop is required.
