What must you do when you approach a stop sign at an intersection?

Ontario road sign — Come to a complete stop and proceed only when the way is clear
Show Answer & Explanation
Correct Answer: B. Come to a complete stop and proceed only when the way is clear

A stop sign requires a complete stop at the stop line, crosswalk or intersection edge—never a rolling stop. You may proceed only when the intersection and approaching traffic are clear. This rule protects you and cross-traffic from collisions at controlled entries.

Why the other answers are wrong

  • A.Slow down and proceed if traffic is lightA stop sign requires a full stop regardless of how much traffic is present; rolling through is a demerit-points offence under Ontario's Highway Traffic Act.
  • C.Stop only if other traffic is presentYou must come to a complete stop at every stop sign even if no other traffic is visible; stopping only when traffic is present violates the regulatory meaning of the octagonal sign.
  • D.Honk and proceed through cautiouslyHonking does not provide right of way. A stop sign is a regulatory sign with a legal obligation to stop fully before entering the intersection.
