Traffic Signs

How would you conduct yourself when approaching an intersection that is preceded by a “stop” sign?

Question illustration
  1. Give right-of-way to any other vehicle that is entering or approaching the intersection from a different roadway.
  2. You are only obliged to stop when vehicle traffic on the crossing road is approaching from your right.
  3. You are only obliged to stop when a policeman instructs you to do so.
  4. Stop and give right-of-way to any other vehicle that is entering or approaching the intersection from a different roadway.· Correct answer

Explanation

A Stop sign (302) requires a complete stop before the junction, regardless of whether there is traffic or not. After stopping, you must give right of way to any vehicle entering or approaching the junction from another road. Stopping is mandatory, not a recommendation.

Stop = full stop + give right of way to others
