§ 484B.257. Vehicle entering intersection marked stop or yield
Except when traffic is being controlled by a police officer or a traffic-control signal: 1. When proper signs have been erected, the driver of a vehicle shall stop or yield
at a clearly marked stop line or, if there is none, before entering the crosswalk
on the near side of the intersection or, if there is none, then at the point nearest
the intersection where the driver has a view of approaching traffic on the through

with a yield sign, in compliance with the manner prescribed in subsection 1, prior
to entering an intersection if a stop sign or a yield sign is erected at one or more
entrances thereto although not a part of a through highway and shall proceed cautiously,
yielding to vehicles not so obligated to stop or yield and which are within the intersection
or approaching so closely as to constitute an immediate hazard during the time such
driver is moving across or within the intersection.
