When must a driver come to a complete stop?

  1. At stop signs

  2. At red lights

  3. When traffic is congested

  4. When an emergency vehicle is approaching

The correct answer is: At stop signs

A driver must come to a complete stop at stop signs because this allows for other vehicles and pedestrians to safely cross or merge onto the road. Failure to stop at a stop sign can result in a traffic violation and potential accidents. While C and D may require a driver to slow down or yield, they do not necessarily require a full stop. B may also require a driver to stop, but only when there is a red light present. Stop signs, on the other hand, always require a full stop regardless of whether or not there is other traffic.
