Applied in 1 court decision — leading case State v. Young (2006)

Most recently applied in State v. Young (December 2006)

I.C., § 49-643, as added by 1977, ch. 152, § 3, p. 337; am. 1981, ch. 242, § 1, p. 485; am. 1988, ch. 147, § 1, p. 268; am. and redesig. am. 1988, ch. 265, § 221, p. 549.

(1) Preferential right-of-way may be indicated by stop signs or yield signs as authorized in section 49-212, Idaho Code.

(2) Except when directed to proceed by a peace officer or traffic-control signal, every driver of a vehicle approaching a stop sign shall stop: at a clearly marked stop line, or

(3) before entering the crosswalk on the near side of the intersection, or

(4) at the point nearest the intersecting highway where the driver has a view of approaching traffic on the intersecting highway before entering it.

(5) The driver of a vehicle approaching a yield sign shall, in obedience to such sign, slow down to a speed reasonable for existing conditions and, if required for safety to stop, shall stop at a clearly marked stop line, or before entering the crosswalk on the near side of the intersection, or at the point nearest the intersecting highway where the driver has a view of approaching traffic on the intersecting highway before entering it. After slowing or stopping, the driver shall yield the right-of-way to any vehicle in the intersection or approaching on another highway so closely as to constitute an immediate hazard during the time the driver is moving across or within the intersection or junction of highways. Provided, however, that if a driver is involved in a collision with a vehicle in the intersection or junction of highways, after driving past a yield sign without stopping, the collision shall be deemed prima facie evidence of his failure to yield right-of-way.

After having stopped, the driver shall yield the right-of-way to any vehicle in the intersection or approaching on another highway so closely as to constitute an immediate hazard during the time when such driver is moving across or within the intersection or junction of highways.
