Does the STOP road marking painted on the pavement impose the same obligation as the vertical mandatory stop sign?

Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

Yes. The mandatory stop road marking (the word 'STOP' painted on the ground) indicates to the driver the obligation to stop their vehicle before the next stop line or, if there isn't one, immediately before the intersection, and to yield to vehicles on the intersecting road. Although vertical signs (R-2) rank higher than road markings in the order of priority for signals, regarding their meaning and mandate, both order you to come to a complete stop and yield.
