Is it mandatory to come to a complete stop at a stop sign?

[VanAbigail]

A stop sign requires drivers to come to a complete halt when pedestrians are crossing. At intersections, vehicles must stop behind the stop line, observe the traffic, and then proceed. The 'stop' sign is a traffic regulatory sign featuring an octagonal shape with the word 'STOP' in white on a red background with white borders. It indicates that vehicles must stop behind the stop line, look for oncoming traffic, and only proceed when it is safe to do so. This rule applies to all vehicles. Stop signs are installed under the following circumstances: 1. At intersections where minor roads meet major roads with heavy traffic. 2. At unattended railroad crossings. 3. At other locations where it is deemed necessary.
