Stopping or yielding right of way before entering stop or yield intersections

 No driver of a
vehicle or street car shall enter upon or cross an intersecting street marked
with a "stop" sign unless he has first brought his vehicle or street
car to a complete stop at a point within 5 feet of the nearest crosswalk or
stop line marked upon the pavement at the near side of the intersecting street
and shall proceed only after yielding the right of way to all traffic on the
intersecting street which is so close as to constitute an immediate hazard. No
driver of a vehicle or street car shall enter upon or cross an intersecting
street marked with a "yield right of way" sign without first slowing
to a reasonable speed for existing conditions and visibility, stopping if
necessary, and the driver shall yield the right of way to all traffic on the
intersecting street which is so close as to constitute an immediate hazard;
unless, in either case, he is otherwise directed to proceed by a traffic or
police officer or traffic control signal, or as provided in section 39:4-145 of
