Must we always stop a vehicle at a vertical Stop sign?
Signage: Vertical signs
Explanation
The **vertical Stop sign (R-2)** indicates that it is mandatory to bring the vehicle to a complete stop. This sign is used to ensure that drivers yield to vehicles already traveling on the road they wish to enter. It does not matter if there are other markings on the asphalt; the vertical Stop sign alone requires stopping.
- The **Stop sign** is one of the most important priority signs, and compliance is essential to avoid accidents at intersections.
- Although there may also be a **continuous transverse line** on the ground indicating where to stop, the obligation to stop is given by the vertical Stop sign, not by the line itself.
Therefore, whenever you see a vertical Stop sign, you must come to a complete stop, regardless of whether there are other markings on the asphalt.
