As you drive, you're required to stop your vehicle:
- At an intersection with a stop sign.
- Where there is a red light.
- When a traffic officer orders you to stop.
- All of the above. ✓
Answer: D. All of the above.
You must stop in all of these cases: at a stop sign, at a red light, and when a traffic officer tells you to stop.
Why this is the answer
The handbook says a stop sign means bringing the car to a full halt before the stop line, crosswalk, or intersection. At a red light, it says to come to a complete stop at the stop line and stay stopped until green. It also says drivers must obey traffic signals unless an officer is directing traffic, so an officer's direction to stop takes precedence. These situations together require a stop, so the choice covering all of them fits.
Why the other answers are wrong
- A. At an intersection with a stop sign. — Stopping at a stop sign is required, but that by itself leaves out the red-light and officer situations.
- B. Where there is a red light. — Stopping at a red light is required, but that by itself leaves out the stop-sign and officer situations.
- C. When a traffic officer orders you to stop. — Stopping when an officer orders it is required, but that by itself leaves out the stop-sign and red-light situations.
Remember it
Sign, signal, or officer: any one telling you to stop means a complete halt.
