Traffic Signals and Actions
- At a STOP sign, come to a full stop and yield the right-of-way to vehicles and pedestrians.

Legal Obligations
- Among traffic controls, a police officer's directions take precedence over red lights, flashing red lights, and STOP signs.
Road Markings and Lines
- An edge line that angles inward signifies that the road narrows ahead.
- A single broken line indicates passing other vehicles or changing lanes is permissible if safe.
- A single solid line allows passing or lane changes only when absolutely necessary due to obstructions or traffic conditions.
- Double solid lines prohibit passing or changing lanes, with exceptions only for turning left at driveways or making U-turns.
- A combination of a solid and broken line means:
- Vehicle on the solid line side cannot pass, except to turn left into a driveway.
- Vehicle on the broken line side can pass if safe and traffic is not interfered with.
Stopping Locations
