Regulatory, Lane & Parking SignsStandalone practice
You drive toward a red eight-sided STOP sign. A white stop line is painted across your lane, and the cross street looks empty. What must you do?
Correct answer: Stop fully at the stop line, then go when cross traffic and pedestrians are clear
Why
A STOP sign tells you that cross traffic has the right-of-way, and the full stop gives you time to check for vehicles and people on foot. New Mexico law sets the stopping point: before the crosswalk on the near side, or at a marked stop line if there is no crosswalk, or else at the point nearest the cross road before you enter the intersection. After you stop, yield to any vehicle in the intersection or close enough to be a hazard.
