What should you do before rolling a stop sign?

Look both ways
Stop past the stop line
Stop after the crosswalk
Stop halfway through the crosswalk

The correct answer is: Look both ways

Before rolling a stop sign, it is important to first come to a complete stop and check for any oncoming traffic or pedestrians. Option B is incorrect because stopping past the stop line is considered running a stop sign and can result in a traffic violation. Option C is incorrect because stopping after the crosswalk can obstruct the path of pedestrians and other vehicles. Option D is incorrect because stopping halfway through the crosswalk can also obstruct the path of pedestrians and other vehicles, and is considered running a stop sign. Therefore, the best option is to stop before the stop line or at the stop line and then proceed when it is safe to do so. Looking both ways ensures that you are aware of any potential risks before continuing on the road.
