   (b)   Designate any intersection as a stop intersection and require all vehicles to stop at one or more entrances to such intersection.

Such zones may be marked by an auxiliary yellow line placed parallel and to the right of the normal center line or offset marked lane line.
   (h)   Place markers, buttons or signs within or adjacent to intersections and require that a specific course of direction be traveled by vehicles proceeding in lanes by either permitting, prohibiting or requiring turns at such intersections.
