Stop Sign—A stop sign has eight sides and is red with white letters. You must stop behind the stop line or crosswalk, if one is present. If a stop line is not present, then stop at the point nearest the intersection where you (the driver) can see in both directions without entering the cross traffic lane. Look for crossing vehicles and pedestrians in all directions and yield the right-of-way.
