(b) All devices, signs, signals and markings required for the purpose of traffic control shall be uniform as to type and location throughout the County.

The highway safety council may recommend when yield signs may be substituted for stop signs. (b) The streets as described in schedule 14, section 24-266 are established and designated as through streets." SECTION 5. Material to be repealed is bracketed. New material is underscored.
