This sign means?
- Stop 150 meters ahead
- Bump 150 meters ahead
- Stop only if other vehicles are approaching
- Stop completely, continue only when safe ✓
Answer: D. Stop completely, continue only when safe
This sign means you must stop completely and continue only when it is safe.
Why this is the answer
The handbook lists "stop completely — continue only when safe" as one of the regulatory signs that tell you about driving laws. It also explains that a stop sign always means a complete stop, and that after stopping you check the intersection carefully. Whether you then go or wait depends on the other traffic around you, so you move off only once there is a safe gap. Because regulatory signs carry legal instructions, you are expected to obey them.
Why the other answers are wrong
- A. Stop 150 meters ahead — Nothing in the passages says a stop sign warns of a stop 150 meters up the road; it marks where you must stop, not a distance ahead.
- B. Bump 150 meters ahead — A bump ahead is a road hazard warning, not a stop instruction, and the passages give no distance-of-hazard meaning for a stop sign.
- C. Stop only if other vehicles are approaching — The handbook says a stop sign always means a complete stop, so whether other vehicles are approaching does not change that duty.
Remember it
Treat the sign as two steps in order: come to a full stop first, then look and decide when it is safe to go.
