On this page I will explain the signs for the stop sign STOPP SIGNAL
Of course, these signs are yellow surrounded by a red frame, and they are different from the mandatory parking sign
It is red in color surrounded by a white frame.
The shape of the sign
This sign is placed at intersections and is in effect when the traffic light is red or broken
I will provide you with some examples and explanations here so that you can receive the information in an easy and simple way.
See the following picture:
As you can see in the picture at the red arrow, the traffic light is red
In this case, you must stand at the white line drawn on the ground and marked with the green arrow.
The traffic light does not concern you if you want to turn right or left, it is only for forward traffic.
The reason you are standing here is to open the way for traffic coming at the intersection from the right and left
You can turn right or left without having to stop, but you must ensure that there is no traffic at the intersection.
See the following picture also
The traffic lights marked with the red arrow are placed in places where firefighters, ambulances, police, and other emergency services are located.
Or places of special importance where the traffic light lights up red to force traffic to stop and make way for emergency vehicles, etc.
The yellow sign only applies if the traffic light is red and then it stops at the level of the white line drawn on the ground
You continue walking when it turns off or turns green, and stopping is not valid if the signal is off and you can continue moving forward.
See the following case also
In the case shown in the picture, the situation is considered dangerous because there is a pedestrian crossing and there is traffic at the intersection
When the traffic light is red, stop at the line drawn on the ground at the level of the sign before turning or continuing forward.
Just like the car on the left does, when the traffic light is green, you can continue moving forward calmly
If you want to turn right, you must make sure that there are no pedestrians and that the road is safe
You do not need to stop, but you must look at the dead corner before entering the right-hand street.
See the following case also
In this case, the traffic light is green and you can continue driving forward without having to stop
But if the traffic light is red, you must stand at the level of the white line drawn on the ground.
If you want to turn right or left, you can turn without having to stop
Even if the traffic light on the opposite side is red
The sign in question, which means a stop sign, is to determine your stopping point if the traffic light is red
It is not the same as the following mandatory stop sign:
The mandatory stop sign is placed in dangerous places, at intersections, railways, and uncovered roads.
From the right, left, or from both sides, and also in streets connected by highways
It means that you have to stop completely for a few seconds before entering the road
The rest of the traffic is given priority and you do not have the right to continue your journey without stopping, even if there is no traffic on the road
Failure to stop may also lead to you losing your driving license in some cases and a fine.
