Editor's Note: Schedule C, Through Streets, is included as an attachment to this chapter.
[Ord. of 12-4-1972]
Those streets and parts of streets described in Schedule C of
this chapter are hereby declared to be through streets for the purpose
of this section.
[Ord. of 12-4-1972]
Whenever this chapter designates and describes a through street,
it shall be the duty of the traffic engineer to place and maintain
a stop sign, or on the basis of an engineering and traffic investigation
at any intersection a yield sign, on each and every street intersecting
such through street 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 of said streets
as may be determined by the traffic engineer upon the basis of an
engineering and traffic study.
[Ord. of 12-4-1972]
(a)
The traffic engineer is hereby authorized to determine and designate
intersections where a particular hazard exists upon other than through
streets and to determine:
(1)
Whether vehicles shall stop at one or more entrances to any
such intersection, in which event he shall cause to be erected a stop
sign at every such place where a stop is required; or
(2)
Whether vehicles shall yield the right-of-way to vehicles on
a different street at such intersection, in which event he shall cause
to be erected a yield sign at every place where obedience is required.
On state-aid and state highways the designation of through streets
and the installation of stop and yield signs are subject to Maine
Department of Transportation approval.
