Does the STOP sign always require you to come to a stop?
Signage: General rules
Explanation
The **STOP sign** always requires you to stop, but there are exceptions. It is important to understand that, although the sign indicates you must stop, there are situations where **other indications prevail**.
- **Traffic officers**: If a traffic officer instructs you to continue, you must follow their instructions, even if there is a STOP sign. Officers have the authority to direct traffic, and their indications take precedence.
- **Traffic lights**: If there is a functioning traffic light giving you a green light, you can continue without stopping, as the traffic light takes precedence over the STOP sign.
In summary, although the STOP sign generally requires you to stop, you must be attentive to the indications of traffic officers and traffic lights, as these can modify the obligation to stop.
