Question 1761 in the bank

How would you conduct yourself when a “stop” sign is placed on the right side of a two-lane one-way roadway?

  1. Correct answer: Stop on either of the two lanes.
  2. Stop if you intend to turn left only.
  3. Stop if you are on the right lane only.
  4. Stop if you are on the left lane only.

Why this is the answer

The correct answer in the official bank: Stop on either of the two lanes.

A sign placed on the right side of the road applies to all lanes carrying traffic in that direction, not only to the lane next to it. So on a two-lane one-way road, drivers in either lane must come to a full stop, whatever direction they intend to take.

Topic: Traffic signs. The bank marks it for these classes: Light truck (C1), Heavy truck (C), Bus (D), Motorcycle (A), Tractor (1), Private car (B).
