Fermarsi e dare precedenza (STOP)

Stop and give way (STOP) It is a regulatory sign (priority). It requires the driver to stop at the transverse stop line, even if no one is present, and to give way to vehicles approaching from both the right and the left. It can be found (both inside and outside built-up areas), for example: generally, at junctions with poor visibility and particular danger at a level crossing at a junction with a priority road combined with a traffic light; in this case, it is applicable when the light is flashing amber. On extra-urban roads, it is preceded by the STOP AHEAD sign. It is not true that it warns of the obligation to stop and give way in alternating one-way streets. It is not true that it requires stopping only at a customs post or only when other vehicles are crossing (it is always mandatory to stop, even if no one is visible).
