Regulations of Connecticut State Agencies
(a) A STOP sign should be erected at the point where the vehicle is to stop or as near thereto as possible, and may be supplemented with a STOP line and/or the word STOP on the pavement.
(b) A YIELD sign should be erected in the same manner, at the point where the vehicle is to stop if necessary to yield the right-of-way. Where there is a marked crosswalk on the pavement, the sign should be erected approximately 4 feet in advance of the crosswalk line nearest to approaching traffic.
(c) Where only one sign, STOP or YIELD, is used, it shall be on the right-hand side of the traffic lanes to which it applies.
(d) At an intersection where a wide throat exists on the signed approach, observance of the sign may be improved by the erection of an additional sign on the left side of the approach road, and by the use of a STOP line.
(e) Where two lanes of traffic are subject to the STOP sign, a second sign should be placed where it is visible to traffic in the inner lane. At certain channelized intersections, the additional sign may be effectively placed on a channelizing island.
(f) In no instance shall one STOP or YIELD sign be mounted above another on the same post.
(g) Where two roads intersect at an acute angle, the STOP or YIELD sign should be positioned at an angle, or shielded, so that the message is out of view of traffic to which it does not apply.
(h) In the event the visibility of a STOP sign or a YIELD sign at any location is restricted, the sign shall be located as specified, and a STOP AHEAD sign or a YIELD AHEAD sign shall be erected in advance of the STOP or YIELD sign.
