A red octagonal sign carries the word STOP in white capitals. What must you do when you reach it?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: C. Stop at the line and give way before moving off, even if the road looks clear

  1. Step 1: The octagon is the one shape reserved for a compulsory stop. Step 2. You must come to a complete stop at the line and give way to traffic on the major road. Answer: Stop at the line and give way before moving off, even if the road looks clear. Why not the others: A give-way sign (not a STOP sign) lets you go on if the road is clear, a STOP sign applies whether or not pedestrians wait, and it does not depend on signals.
