Yield signs; collision with pedestrian or vehicle
Sec. 33. (a) A person who drives a vehicle approaching a yield
sign shall slow down to a speed reasonable for the existing
conditions or stop if necessary. The person shall yield the
right-of-way to a pedestrian legally crossing the roadway and to a
vehicle in the intersection or approaching on another highway so
closely as to present an immediate hazard. After yielding, the person
may proceed, and all other vehicles approaching the intersection
shall yield to the vehicle proceeding.
(b) If a person who drives a vehicle is involved in a collision with
a pedestrian in a crosswalk or a vehicle in the intersection after
driving past a yield sign without stopping, the collision is considered
prima facie evidence of the person's failure to yield the right-of-way.
As added by P.L.2-1991, SEC.9.
