Trinity County Municipal Code Ch. 10.20 Yield Right-of-Way Signs

The commissioner is authorized to determine those approaches to intersections of streets and highways which are not through streets, and which there is special hazard to life and property by reason of the volume of traffic at such intersections, or because of the lack of visibility to the drivers of the vehicles approaching such intersections, or because of the number of reported accidents or an apparent probability thereof, or by reason of physical conditions which render such intersections exceptionally dangerous or hazardous to life and property, and where the factors creating the special hazard are such that, according to the principles and experience of traffic engineering, the installation of yield right-of-way signs is reasonably calculated to reduce the expectancy of accidents, and that the use of warning signs would be inadequate.

(Ord. 330 Art. VII §71, 1971)

When such determination has been made, the commissioner is directed to designate any such approaches as yield right-of-way approaches and shall post such yield right-of-way signs as are necessary to give effect to such designation.

(Ord. 330 Art. VII §72, 1971)
