Regulatory signs
STOP
A STOP SIGN is an 8-sided white on red sign indicating that other traffic has the right-of-way. You must always bring your vehicle to a complete stop and yield to approaching traffic before proceeding. The stop must be made at the “stop line”. If there is no “stop line”, you must stop before crossing any marked or unmarked crosswalk. When you cannot see other traffic from the first stop, move ahead slowly and stop again where you can see approaching traffic.
