What it means
You MUST come to a complete stop behind the stop line. Only proceed when it is safe and all traffic and pedestrians have been yielded to.
What to do
- Stop with all wheels fully still before the stop line, or before the junction if there is no line.
- Look left, right, and ahead for traffic and pedestrians; give way to everyone who has a claim on the space you need.
- Move off only when you can join or cross without making others brake or swerve.
In the K53 test
You need a full stop, not a slow roll. If you are not sure you stopped completely, you probably did not.
Where you will see it
At intersections, railway crossings, and scholar patrols.
