They wanted to remember the importance with a video recorded by a drone in which many drivers treat a STOP sign as a yield. In the recording, which is barely a minute and a half long, more than 20 drivers are seen failing to comply with the signal in the incorporation to a conventional road one-way traffic.
“The Stop is a priority signal that always force to stopand. Stop does not have double meanings. Just stop. Don’t make a mistake or pretend you haven’t seen it. Even if no one comes or you enter slowly, skipping a Stop is very dangerous and has a penalty of 200 euros and loss of 4 points“They have commented on a tweet from the DGT.
