Mississippi Written Drivers Test Practice

What should you do at a stop sign?

1. Speed up to get through faster

2. Come to a complete stop and yield to any pedestrians and traffic

3. Roll through it slowly

4. Only stop if other cars are present

The correct answer is: Come to a complete stop and yield to any pedestrians and traffic

When you approach a stop sign, the correct action is to come to a complete stop and yield to any pedestrians and traffic. This practice is essential for ensuring the safety of all road users, including pedestrians who may be crossing at that intersection. Yielding means being mindful of your surroundings and allowing others to go first when they have the right of way. Stopping fully at a stop sign helps clarify your intentions to other drivers and pedestrians, reducing the risk of accidents. It also gives you the opportunity to assess the traffic and any potential hazards before proceeding. This rule is a critical part of safe driving and helps maintain order and predictability on the road.
