Question 6806

When a sign imposes the obligation to stop, until when may you not resume driving?

  1. Until the obligation established by the sign has been fulfilled.
  2. Until the vehicles approaching from behind have stopped.
  3. Until a prudent amount of time has passed, which must not be less than ten seconds.
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: Until the obligation established by the sign has been fulfilled.

When a sign requires you to stop, you must not continue until you have done what the sign requires. At a stop sign, like the one in the image, you stop and wait to yield the right-of-way, here to the truck traveling on the cross street. There is no minimum waiting time.
