👉 Stops, also known as terminal symbols or stop signs, are a critical component of traffic signaling used to indicate a complete halt at an intersection or roadway. Unlike yield signs, which allow other traffic to proceed but require yielding to the stopped vehicles, stops require drivers to come to a full stop before proceeding. This is typically achieved by stopping the vehicle at a designated point, often marked with a white circle and black lines, or by using a stop sign. Stops are essential for ensuring safety at intersections by preventing collisions and allowing pedestrians to cross safely. They are universally recognized and enforced, making them a fundamental part of road safety regulations.
