Road Signs

A red octagonal (8-sided) sign at an intersection tells the driver to:

Ontario road sign — Come to a complete stop, then proceed when safe
Show Answer & Explanation
Correct Answer: B. Come to a complete stop, then proceed when safe

The octagonal (eight-sided) red sign is uniquely reserved for the stop command in Ontario and across North America. Its distinct shape lets you recognize it even from behind or in poor visibility. Coming to a full stop prevents collisions and obeys a regulatory obligation.

Why the other answers are wrong

  • A.Yield to pedestrians onlyThe stop sign applies to all traffic, not solely pedestrians; yielding and stopping are distinct regulatory actions in the Highway Traffic Act.
  • C.Reduce speed to 20 km/hThe octagonal stop sign commands a full stop, not a speed reduction. Speed-limit signs are rectangular, not octagonal.
  • D.Stop only during school hoursStop signs are in effect at all times; school-zone restrictions use separate signage with explicit time notations.
