What does a red, eight-sided (octagonal) sign with the word STOP in white letters mean?
- A.Come to a complete stop, then proceed only when the way is clear
- B.Slow down and proceed if no officer is present
- C.Yield to cross traffic but do not stop
- D.Stop only if pedestrians are crossing
Correct answer
A. Come to a complete stop, then proceed only when the way is clear
Why
An octagon is used only for a stop sign. Florida law requires a complete stop at the stop line, crosswalk, or intersection, and you may go only after yielding to pedestrians and vehicles that have the right-of-way.
