4-Way stop sign
Afrikaans: 4-rigtingstopteken
What it means
To bring traffic from all four directions to a stop. Bring your vehicle to a standstill behind the stop line. If there is no stop line, the front of your vehicle must be brought to a stop in line with the stop sign. Proceed only when it is safe. If more than one vehicle stops at such an intersection, the vehicle, which stopped first, should move off first.
Om verkeer uit al vier rigtings tot stilstand te bring. Bring jou voertuig tot stilstand agter die stoplyn. As daar geen stoplyn is nie, moet die voorkant van jou voertuig tot stilstand gebring word in lyn met die Stopteken. Gaan slegs voort wanneer dit veilig is. As meer as een voertuig by so 'n kruising stop, moet die voertuig wat eerste gestop het, eerste wegtrek.
Where you’ll see it
