What does a Stop Ahead sign indicate?

• A. There is a warning for a sharp curve ahead
• B. The light will turn green soon
• C. There is a stop ahead; you should slow down and be prepared to stop
• D. The road is closed ahead

Answer: (C)

Stop Ahead alerts you that a stop sign is coming up. It’s a warning to slow down now and be prepared to stop at the upcoming intersection. The sign is usually a yellow diamond with the words STOP AHEAD, signaling you to decelerate and be ready to come to a complete stop where required. This is different from signs for a sharp curve, a light that will turn green soon, or a road closure ahead. When you reach the stop sign, you must stop and proceed only when it’s safe and you’ve yielded as required.
