Does the STOP painted on the road at an intersection have the same meaning as the vertical sign?
Signage: Road markings
Explanation
At an intersection, both the **STOP painted on the road surface** and the **vertical STOP sign** have the same meaning: both indicate that the driver must come to a complete stop before proceeding.
- The **STOP sign painted on the road surface** requires the driver to stop their vehicle before the stop line to yield to other vehicles traveling on the road they wish to enter.
- The **continuous transverse line** on the road surface also indicates that vehicles must stop and follow the instructions of the accompanying signs, such as the STOP sign.
- There is no contradiction between the vertical sign and the one painted on the road surface, as both have the same purpose: to ensure that the driver comes to a complete stop to yield the right of way. Therefore, both must be obeyed in the same manner.
