What is the correct action at a Stop Sign?

• A. Come to a complete stop, yield to pedestrians and other vehicles with the right of way, and proceed when it is safe.
• B. Slow down and proceed if the intersection is clear.
• C. Stop only if a vehicle is present.
• D. Drive through without stopping.

Answer: (A)

When you reach a Stop Sign, you must come to a complete stop. This pause lets you check for pedestrians and other road users who have the right of way. After stopping, yield to anyone in the crosswalk or already in the intersection, and proceed only when it is safe. Slowing down and hoping to go through, stopping only if a vehicle is present, or driving through without stopping aren’t correct and can lead to crashes or fines.
