What Does a Stop Sign Mean Video (Rules & How They Work)

Proper Stops and Right-of-Way

• Slow Down and Stop Correctly

  Approach smoothly and come to a complete stop before the stop line or crosswalk. Look left → right → left before moving.

• Avoid Rolling Stops

  A rolling stop is illegal and unsafe. Your wheels must fully stop before you proceed.

• Don’t Stop Past the Stop Line

  Stopping too late blocks crosswalks and puts pedestrians at risk. Stay behind the white line.

• Know 4-Way Stop Right-of-Way

  The first vehicle to stop goes first. If two vehicles arrive together, the vehicle on the right goes first.

• Always Yield to Pedestrians

  Pedestrians always have the right of way — even if it’s “your turn” to go.
