§ 2058Through waysProvision

Source excerpt

1. Designation. The Department of Transportation may designate a state or state aid highway as a "through way." The Department of Transportation, after notice, may revoke any such designation. Municipal officers may designate a way under their jurisdiction as a "through way." [PL 1993, c. 683, Pt. A, §2 (NEW); PL 1993, c. 683, Pt. B, §5 (AFF).] 2. Signs. A through way designation is not effective until suitable warning signs or signals are erected. [PL 1993, c. 683, Pt. A, §2 (NEW); PL 1993, c. 683, Pt. B, §5 (AFF).] 3. Intersection. For the purpose of this section, a way joining a through way at an angle, whether or not crossing, is deemed to intersect the through way. [PL 1993, c. 683, Pt. A, §2 (NEW); PL 1993, c. 683, Pt. B, §5 (AFF).] 4. Other stop signs. The Department of Transportation or municipal officers may designate an intersection as a stop intersection and erect stop signs at one or more entrances.

The Department of Transportation or municipal officers may erect standard signs requiring operators to yield the right-of-way at certain intersections. A. Yield signs may be designated where it is expedient to allow traffic to move through or into the intersection at a reasonable speed for existing conditions of traffic and visibility, yielding the right-of-way to vehicles or pedestrians approaching from either direction on the intersecting street. [PL 2003, c. 452, Pt. Q, §38 (NEW); PL 2003, c. 452, Pt. X, §2 (AFF).] B.

Q, §38 (NEW); PL 2003, c. 452, Pt. X, §2 (AFF).] [PL 2003, c. 452, Pt. Q, §38 (RPR); PL 2003, c. 452, Pt. X, §2 (AFF).] 6. Procedure.
