[Adopted effective 11-19-1981 (§ 13-4 of the 1981
Code)]
The Board of Police Commissioners shall be authorized
to determine the location of stop signs in the Town of Weston and
further to determine the removal of existing stop signs in the Town.
Said power shall be exercised only after the Board of Police Commissioners
has held a public hearing regarding the installation or removal of
any stop signs, which hearing shall be legally noticed at least seven
days prior to the date of the hearing.
Any such stop sign subsequently authorized to
be removed and/or installed by the Board of Police Commissioners,
after public hearing as provided above, shall be deemed to be subject
to the provisions of this article, and a list containing any such
installations and/or removals shall be filed with a copy of this article
in the office of the Board of Selectmen and in the office of the Town
Clerk within 10 days of any such action by the Board of Police Commissioners.
It shall be a violation of this article for
the operator of any motor vehicle to fail to bring his vehicle to
a full stop in obedience to any stop sign at the entrance of any highway
and yield the right-of-way to vehicles which are not obligated to
stop or which are within the intersection or approaching so closely
as to constitute an immediate hazard.
The penalty for violation of this article shall
be the sum of $25 for each offense in accordance with the provisions
of the General Statutes of the State of Connecticut. Any such violation
shall be considered an infraction and subject to further penalties
as provided by the motor vehicle laws of the State of Connecticut.
