Sample sign question
Road signs
What action does an Iowa stop sign require before proceeding?
- Come to a full stop, wait for crossing traffic and the crosswalk to clear, then proceed safely
- Slow down and continue if the driver sees no traffic
- Stop only when a police officer is present
- Yield without stopping whenever the crosswalk is empty
Answer: Come to a full stop, wait for crossing traffic and the crosswalk to clear, then proceed safely. A stop sign requires a full stop and waiting until crossing vehicles and the crosswalk are clear before proceeding. If a stop line is present, stop there first. Merely slowing down is not enough, and the duty does not depend on a police officer being nearby. An empty crosswalk does not turn the sign into a yield sign because crossing traffic must also be considered. Use the stop line as the first visual cue, then check the entire crossing area before moving.
