Does the presence of a STOP sign obligate you to stop the vehicle in every single case?

Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

The correct answer is 'Yes, unless a traffic light or agent indicates otherwise'. This is due to the hierarchy of traffic signals. While the vertical STOP sign (R-2) mandates a compulsory stop, orders from traffic officers and traffic lights take precedence over vertical signs. Therefore, if a traffic light is green or an officer signals you to proceed, that order overrides the STOP sign, and you should not stop.
