What does a stop sign law require?

A stop sign law requires drivers to come to a complete stop at the designated stop line or at the crosswalk when approaching a stop sign. This means that when you see a stop sign, you must halt your vehicle to ensure the intersection is clear of other vehicles, pedestrians, or any hazards before proceeding. The purpose of this law is to promote safety by allowing drivers to assess traffic conditions and make informed decisions about when it is safe to continue.

The other choices do not reflect the full legal requirement of stopping at a stop sign. Stopping only when other vehicles are present, rolling through a stop if the area is clear, or stopping solely at intersections would undermine the intent of the stop sign, which is to ensure that all drivers take a moment to check for safety at all times, regardless of the presence of other vehicles or the perception of a clear path.
