The foregoing rule is modified at through streets or highways and otherwise as stated in this chapter. (A) Turning Left at an Intersection: The driver of a vehicle within an intersection intending to turn to the left shall yield the right of way to all vehicles approaching from the opposite direction which are within the intersection or so close thereto as to constitute an immediate hazard, then said driver, having so yielded and having given a signal when and as required by the provisions of this Chapter may make such left turn. (B) Entering Through Street: The driver of a vehicle shall stop as required by this Chapter at the entrance to a through street or highway and shall yield the right of way to other vehicles which have entered the intersection from such through street or highway or which are approaching so closely on such through street or highway as to constitute a hazard, but such driver having so yielded may proceed cautiously and with due care enter such through street or highway. (C) Entering Stop Intersection: The driver of a vehicle shall stop in obedience to a stop sign as required herein at an intersection where a stop sign is erected at one or more entrances thereto although not a part of a through street or highway and shall proceed cautiously, yielding to vehicles not so obliged to stop which are within the intersection or approaching so closely as to constitute a hazard, but may then proceed. 1-7-12 APPROACH OF EMERGENCY VEHICLE: Upon the immediate approach of an authorized emergency vehicle with any lamp or device displaying a red light or flashing red light from directly in front thereof, or when the driver is giving audible signal by siren, exhaust whistle, or bell, the driver of every other vehicle shall yield the right of way and shall immediately drive to a position parallel to, and as close as possible to, the right hand edge or curb of the street or highway clear of any intersection and shall stop and remain in such position until the authorized emergency vehicle has passed, except when otherwise directed by a police officer.
