Question 6794

Does the stop sign always require you to stop?

  1. Yes, unless a traffic officer or a traffic light indicates otherwise.
  2. Yes, unless there is no stop line.
  3. Yes, always.
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: Yes, unless a traffic officer or a traffic light indicates otherwise.

The stop sign requires you to stop even if there is no stop line; if there is none, stop just before the intersection. A traffic officer or traffic light takes precedence over posted signs and may direct you to proceed without stopping, as the green traffic light in the picture does.
