Stop sign

Stop sign

Stop signs mean:

• Behind the stop sign at the crosswalk or stop line, come to a full stop. If you can’t see the cross street clearly enough, move forward to decide when it is safe to proceed.

• You should slow down and stop at intersection in case there is no sign or marking. Stop at the point from which you have best view of approaching traffic.

Important
Stop. A stop sign has eight sides and is red with white letters. You must come to a full stop. You must wait until crossing vehicles and pedestrians have cleared your path. You can go only when it is safe to do so. If you cannot see traffic from your first stop, slowly move ahead and stop again before entering the intersection. Check for cross traffic and pedestrians before you go.
