• Jurisdiction: Indiana
• Title 9: MOTOR VEHICLES
• Art. 21: TRAFFIC REGULATION
• Ch. 8: Vehicle Operation

Text

(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.
