Regulatory, Lane & Parking SignsStandalone practice
You come to a complete stop at a red eight-sided STOP sign. The cross street has no sign or signal. A car on that street is close to the intersection and is moving toward it. You stopped before that car arrived. What do you do next?
Correct answer: Wait for that car to pass, and then go when there is a safe gap.
Why
The STOP sign is the only eight-sided sign on the road. You must stop completely, because a slow roll is not a stop. Then you must yield to pedestrians and to cross traffic that is close enough to be a hazard, because that traffic has no duty to stop for you. The rule that the first vehicle to arrive goes first applies only at an all-way stop.
