It is 2 a.m. You drive toward a red eight-sided sign with the white word STOP. You can see that no vehicles, bicyclists or pedestrians are near the intersection. What must you do?

Correct answer: Stop completely before you enter the intersection, then go when it is clear
Why
The STOP sign is the only sign with eight sides, so you can know it by its shape even when snow covers the word. A rolling stop does not give you time to see a car, bicyclist or person that you did not expect, such as a pedestrian in dark clothes at night. On the Rhode Island driving skills test, a stop sign violation is a reason for immediate failure.
