Car permit · Regulatory signs
When you reach an intersection controlled by a STOP sign, must you always stop completely?
Correct answer: Yes, in every case.
Answer options
- ANo, slowing down is enough
- BOnly when you see other vehicles coming
- CYes, in every case Correct
Why
A STOP sign calls for a complete stop every time, even if the intersection looks empty and no vehicles, cyclists, or pedestrians are in sight. Rolling slowly through is not enough: halt fully at the stop line or before the crosswalk, then check traffic and go when it is safe.
