FAILING TO OBSERVE A STOP OR YIELD SIGN LAW

N.J. S. A. 39:4-144 provides:

No driver of a vehicle or street car shall enter upon or
cross an intersecting street marked with a “stop” sign unless:

a. The driver has first brought the vehicle or street car
to a complete stop at a point within five feet of the nearest crosswalk or stop
line marked upon the pavement at the near side of the intersecting street and
shall proceed only after yielding the right of way to all vehicular traffic on
the intersecting street which is so close as to constitute an immediate hazard.

b. No driver of a vehicle or street car shall enter upon
or cross an intersecting street marked with a “yield right of way”
sign without first slowing to a reasonable speed for existing conditions and
visibility, stopping if necessary, and the driver shall yield the right of way
to all vehicular traffic on the intersecting street which is so close as to
constitute an immediate hazard; unless, in either case, the driver is otherwise
directed to proceed by a traffic or police officer or traffic control signal.

c. No driver of a vehicle or street car shall turn right
at an intersecting street marked with a “stop” sign or “yield
right of way” sign unless the driver stops and remains stopped for
pedestrians crossing the roadway within a marked crosswalk, or at an unmarked
crosswalk, into which the driver is turning.
