What does a stop sign require from a motorcyclist?

• A. Slow down but not stop.
• B. Come to a complete stop, yield to traffic and pedestrians, and proceed when safe.
• C. Continue if you think it's clear.
• D. Honk and proceed.

Answer: (B)

A stop sign requires a complete stop, then yield to others and proceed when it’s safe. For a motorcyclist, that means stopping fully at the stop line or before entering the intersection, then quickly scanning left, right, and ahead for approaching traffic and pedestrians. You must give the right of way to anyone already in the intersection or crossing, and only proceed when it’s safe to do so. Signal your intention and move through the intersection cautiously once you’ve determined it’s clear. The other options would skip the stop, ignore pedestrians, or assume it’s safe without checking, which isn’t allowed.
