VEHICLES BEFORE ENTERING CERTAIN HIGHWAYS SHALL STOP OR YIELD RIGHT-OF-WAY (§
46.2-821)

The driver of a vehicle approaching an intersection on a highway controlled by a
stop sign shall, immediately before entering such intersection, stop at a
clearly marked stop line, or, in the absence of a stop line, stop before
entering the crosswalk on the near side of the intersection, or, in the absence
of a marked crosswalk, stop at the point nearest the intersecting roadway where
the driver has a view of approaching traffic on the intersecting roadway. Before
proceeding, he shall yield the right-of-way to the driver of any vehicle
approaching on such other highway from either direction.
		Where a &#8220;Yield Right-of-Way&#8221; sign is posted, the driver of a
vehicle approaching or entering such intersection shall slow down to a speed
reasonable for the existing conditions, yield the right-of-way to the driver of
another vehicle approaching or entering such intersection from another
direction, and, if required for safety, shall stop at a clearly marked stop or
yield line, or, in the absence of a stop or yield line, stop before entering the
crosswalk on the near side of the intersecting roadway where the driver has a
view of approaching traffic on the intersecting roadway, and shall yield the
right-of-way to the driver of any vehicle approaching on such other highway from
either direction.
