When approaching an intersection controlled by a vertical mandatory stop sign (STOP), is it necessary to bring the vehicle to a complete stop?

Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

The vertical regulatory sign R-2 (Mandatory stop, or STOP) requires every driver to stop their vehicle at the next stop line or, if there is none, immediately before the intersection, and to yield there to vehicles traveling on the road being approached. Stopping is always mandatory, whether or not there is traffic. Stopping only when other users approach is the behavior that belongs to the "Yield" sign (R-1), not to STOP. And saying that it is enough to slow down if visibility at the intersection is good goes against the rule: STOP requires a complete stop even if the road can be seen perfectly.
