1. “"* * * Plaintiff relies strongly on the Droddy case wherein the court said: `An automobilist, with knowledge of the location of a stop sign, has the right to rely when crossing the intersection, on the assumption that anyone approaching will observe it, and similarly a traveler on a boulevard or arterial highway has a right to expect an operator of a motor vehicle on an intersecting street to stop before entering thereon, and, with that expectation in mind, the operator of the automobile on the favored street can proceed forward while the other traveler on the intersecting stops at the sign.' See also Smith v. Howard Crumley & Co., Inc., La.App., 171 So. 188 ; Glen Falls Insurance Company v. Copeland, La.App., 28 So.2d 145 , and Anderson v. Louisiana Power & Light Company, La.App., 180 So. 243 ."”
