TCI Driving Written Test 1 Practice

Stopping at a stop sign is about controlling the intersection and letting other traffic and pedestrians pass safely. A full stop is required, and you proceed only when it’s safe. Ignoring a stop sign creates a high risk of collision because you could enter the intersection at the same time as cross traffic or someone in a crosswalk, who may have the right of way. That safety risk is why violations bring penalties like fines and points on your license, and more serious consequences can follow if an accident occurs or if the violation is repeated. The other options aren’t correct because a stop sign isn’t merely a warning light you’ll be alerted to; you’re not supposed to just slow down and roll through; penalties aren’t restricted to a minor fine.
