What is a "stop sign"?
A stop sign is a traffic sign that requires drivers to come to a complete stop before proceeding through an intersection. The sign is usually red with white letters, making it easy to see. When approaching a stop sign, drivers must wait for any other vehicles or pedestrians to clear the intersection before moving forward. The purpose of the stop sign is to ensure safety by controlling the flow of traffic and preventing accidents at intersections where visibility may be limited or where multiple roads meet.
Example
The municipality installed additional stop signs along the residential street to improve safety for pedestrians.
The stop sign on Main Street is faded and needs to be repainted for better visibility.
Drivers who ignore a stop sign risk causing accidents and receiving traffic citations.
