• You must come to a complete stop before the stop line, then yield.
• You must slow down and yield to vehicles from the right, then proceed without stopping.
• You may proceed carefully if no other vehicle is in the intersection.
• You must stop if a pedestrian or cyclist is crossing, otherwise you may continue.

Why: The Stop sign requires a complete stop at the intersection, before the stop line.

• Make a full three-second stop before proceeding, whatever the traffic on the road.
• Slow down and give way to vehicles already on the road you are joining, stopping only if necessary.
• Keep your speed if you reach the intersection before the other approaching vehicles.
• Sound your horn to signal your presence to drivers before entering the priority road.

Why: A Yield sign requires you to let vehicles already on the road go first; you stop only if you cannot do otherwise.

• On autoroutes and their access ramps.
• In school zones, between 7 a.m. and 5 p.m. on school days.
• On the Island of Montréal, in the municipalities named by regulation.
• At intersections with a left-turn arrow signal.

• Come to a complete stop and yield before proceeding.
• Slow down as you would at a Yield sign, without stopping.
