You see an octagonal (eight-sided) sign at an intersection. What must you do here?

Correct answer

  • Drive past it at your usual speed.
  • Slow down and yield to traffic.
  • Stop and yield to traffic.

Explanation

This is, of course, a stop sign, the only type of sign that is octagonal (eight sided). A stop sign has the word "STOP" printed in white on a red background. At a stop sign, you must stop before the stop line, crosswalk, or intersection, whichever you arrive at first. Then yield to pedestrians and other vehicles, and proceed only when it is safe to do so.
