Regulatory signs: stop, yield, speed & lanes
A 3-minute lesson from the South Carolina course. Read the rules and examples, follow the handbook page references, and check your understanding before you move on.
Regulatory signs state laws you must obey, such as traffic direction, lane use, turning, speed and parking. Ignoring one is a violation, not just a risk.
Know the rule
Regulatory signs are square, rectangular or a special shape, and white with black, red or green letters or symbols.
No stop line? Stop at the point nearest the intersection where you can see both ways without entering the cross traffic lane. Look for vehicles and pedestrians in all directions and yield.
You come to a stop sign with no painted stop line and a hedge blocking your view. Stop first, then creep forward to the point nearest the intersection where you can see both ways, without entering the cross lane. Yield before going.
