What must you do when approaching a stop sign?

When approaching a stop sign, it is important to stop at the solid white line, which indicates where vehicles must halt before entering the intersection. This requirement is critical for ensuring both your safety and the safety of others. Stopping at the line allows you to evaluate the intersection for any oncoming traffic, pedestrians, or hazards before proceeding. This practice helps prevent accidents and promotes responsible driving behavior.

While other options may suggest alternative actions—such as speeding up or not stopping at all—these are not safe practices and do not comply with traffic laws designed to manage intersections effectively. By stopping at the designated line, you respect the traffic control device and ensure that you have a clear view of your surroundings before making any further driving decisions.
