Practice question

What must you do at an intersection with a stop sign?

  1. Slow down and proceed with caution
  2. Come to a complete stop and give way to any vehicles or pedestrians
  3. Continue if no cars are present
  4. Yield to traffic on the right

Answer: B — Come to a complete stop and give way to any vehicles or pedestrians

At an intersection with a stop sign, the correct action is to come to a complete stop and give way to any vehicles or pedestrians. This means that as a driver, you are required to bring your vehicle to a full stop before the stop line, crosswalk, or intersection itself. This rule is crucial for ensuring safety at intersections, as it allows drivers to assess the situation and take notice of other vehicles or pedestrians that may be crossing or approaching the intersection. This helps to prevent accidents and encourages a more cautious approach when navigating through intersections. Taking this action demonstrates an understanding of the rules of the road, prioritizing the safety of all road users by ensuring that right-of-way is respected and that potential hazards are properly identified before proceeding.
