Octagon:
Stop
Stop Signs are always octagonal (8
sided). A stop sign means that you must bring your
vehicle to a complete halt at the marked stop line.
If there is no marked stop line, stop before entering
the crosswalk on the near side of the intersection.
If there is no crosswalk, stop at a point nearest
the intersecting roadway where you have a clear view
of approaching traffic on the intersecting roadway
before entering the intersection.
