At a controlled intersection with a stop sign, what should you do?

• A. Slow down but don't stop.
• B. Speed up to beat other vehicles.
• C. Come to a complete stop and proceed when safe.
• D. Treat as an uncontrolled intersection.

Answer: (C)

At a stop sign, you must come to a full stop first. Stop behind the stop line (or crosswalk), then look left, right, and ahead for cross traffic and pedestrians. You yield to any vehicles or people with the right of way, and if you arrive at the intersection at the same time as another vehicle, the vehicle on your left yields to the vehicle on the right. Only proceed when the way is clear and it is safe to enter or cross the intersection.
