(b) The snowmobile is brought to a complete stop before crossing the shoulder or roadway of the highway;
(c) The driver yields the right-of-way to all oncoming traffic which constitutes an immediate hazard;

(4) A snowmobile may be operated upon a highway other than as provided by subsection (2) of this section in an emergency during the period of time when and at locations where snow upon the roadway renders travel by automobile impractical.
(5) Unless otherwise provided in sections 60-6,320 to 60-6,346, all other provisions of Chapter 60 shall apply to the operation of snowmobiles upon highways except for those relating to required equipment and those which by their nature have no application.
