Regulatory, Lane & Parking SignsStandalone practice
A red eight-sided sign displays STOP. What must the driver do?

Correct answer: Come to a complete stop, yield as needed, and proceed only when safe.
Why
Come to a complete stop. At a marked stop line, stop before the line. If there is no stop line, stop before the near crosswalk; if no stop line or crosswalk exists, stop before entering at a point where you can see approaching traffic. Yield as required and enter only when safe. Follow an officer’s lawful direction when it differs.
