West Covina Municipal Code Div. 3 Right-of-Way

(a) The city council may determine those streets or intersections at which there is special hazard to life or property by reason of the volume of traffic upon such streets or at such intersections, or because of lack of visibility to the drivers of vehicles approaching such streets or intersections, or because of the number of accidents or probability thereof on such streets or intersections, and where the factors creating the special hazard are such that, according to the principles and experience of traffic engineering, the installation of stop signs is reasonably calculated to reduce the expectancy of accidents and that the use of warning signs would be inadequate.

(b) When such determination has been made, the city council may designate any such street as a stop thoroughfare or through street between specific limits or designate any intersection a stop intersection, and shall post such stop signs as are necessary to give effect to such designation. Stop signs at any intersection may be posted as to stop either or any stream of traffic as the needs may, in the judgment of the city council based upon recommendations from the traffic committee, require.

(Code 1960, § 3130; Ord. No. 2531, § 16, 7-15-25)

(a) The city council may determine those approaches to intersections of streets and highways which are not through streets, at which there is a special hazard to life or property by reason of the volume of traffic at such intersection, the lack of visibility to the drivers of vehicles approaching the intersection, or the number of accidents or the apparent probability thereof, or because of physical conditions which render such intersection hazardous to life or property, and where the factors are such that according to the principles of traffic engineering the installation of "Yield Right-of-Way" signs is reasonably calculated to reduce the potentiality of accidents and that the use of warning signs would be inadequate.

(b) When such determination has been made, the city council may designate such approaches as "Yield Right-of-Way" approaches and may cause to be installed and maintained such "Yield Right-of-Way" signs as are necessary to give effect to such designation.
