What should you do at a stop sign?

• A. Stop after crossing the limit line.
• B. Come to a full stop behind the limit line, yield to other traffic and pedestrians, and proceed when it is safe.
• C. Stop briefly and then proceed if no one is around.
• D. Slow down and roll through.

Answer: (B)

When you reach a stop sign, the required action is a full stop followed by yielding to other traffic and pedestrians before proceeding. Bring the vehicle to a complete stop behind the limit line (or before the crosswalk if there’s no line). After stopping, look for any vehicles or pedestrians with the right of way and go only when it’s safe. This approach prevents entering the intersection too early and helps you avoid collisions. The other options skip the full stop or the yielding step, which is why they’re not appropriate.
