Which statement about this safety sign is NOT correct?
💡 Hint
The octagonal 'STOP' sign is a regulatory sign that designates a place for a temporary stop (Annex 6 No. 227 of the Enforcement Rule). Keep the definitions of a temporary stop (Article 2, Subparagraph 30 of the Road Traffic Act) and driving slowly (Subparagraph 28) apart, and consider whether the duty to stop changes with the surrounding traffic.
Answer: ④
Explanation
This octagonal sign reading 'STOP' designates a place where vehicles must make a temporary stop (Enforcement Rule Annex 6, No. 227). A temporary stop means bringing the wheels to a complete stop for a moment (Road Traffic Act Article 2, Item 30). You must stop even with no vehicles or pedestrians around, so just slowing down and passing is wrong.
