Regulatory Signs

STOP SIGNS

Stop signs need to be located as close as possible to the point where a vehicle is supposed to stop. Use "STOP AHEAD" signs in cases of limited sight distances. Supplement stop signs with "4-Way" or "All Way" signs where multi-way stops are required. Examples of places where stop signs might be used include: intersections of secondary roads and main haul roads, intersections where sight distance is limited, intersections of haul roads and public roads, and places where accidents have occurred in the past.
