What exact obligation does the STOP sign impose on the driver?

Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

The correct answer is to stop completely and yield the right of way. The STOP sign imposes a double mandatory obligation: Bring the vehicle to a complete halt (wheels must stop turning, 0 km/h) at the stop line or, if absent, immediately before the intersection. Yield the right of way to vehicles on the cross street, coming from either the right or the left. The other options are incorrect because simply 'reducing speed' applies to a 'Yield' sign or general caution, and you never have priority when facing a STOP sign.
