What is a Stop Sign Violation?
This offence occurs when a driver fails to come to a full and complete stop at a stop sign. Even if the road appears clear, not stopping completely constitutes a traffic violation. It is one of the most common charges under the Highway Traffic Act.
Properly stopping at stop signs is crucial for road safety and avoiding penalties.
