Question 536 in the bank

What does it mean when a “stop” sign is placed on the left side of the roadway only?

A red octagon with a red outer rim. Inside it, one white band surrounds the red centre, and in the centre is a raised white open hand.
  1. Correct answer: That it only applies to those turning left or making a u-turn. To the left
  2. Stop and give right-of-way to incoming traffic from your opposite direction only.
  3. Stop and give right of way to traffic coming from your left only.
  4. Stop and give right of way to traffic coming from your right only.

Why this is the answer

The correct answer in the official bank: That it only applies to those turning left or making a u-turn. To the left

When a "stop" sign is placed only on the left side of the roadway, it is meant for drivers who turn left or make a U-turn to the left. Drivers who continue straight or turn right are not required to act on it. Anyone the sign applies to must stop and give right-of-way, as with any "stop" sign.
