Sign B7: stop and give way

Sign B7 (the octagonal STOP sign) requires you always to stop at the stop line — even when nobody is coming — and then give way to drivers on the crossing road. It is sign B6 plus an obligation to stop.

How the exam asks it

About Shark's teeth: give way, not a stop requirement: which statement is WRONG?

  1. Shark's teeth are themselves a traffic sign and are binding, even without a sign next to them.
  2. Without shark's teeth or priority signs the main rule applies at junctions: priority to drivers from the right.
  3. Shark's teeth mean: give way, not a stop requirement.
  4. If a junction has neither shark's teeth nor a sign, no right-of-way rule applies at all.
Show the answer

Correct answer: If a junction has neither shark's teeth nor a sign, no right-of-way rule applies at all.

If shark's teeth and signs are absent, the main rule automatically applies: priority to drivers from the right. No sign never means 'no rule'

Why learners get this wrong: Shark's teeth only apply if a sign B6 also stands next to them; without a sign the marking is not binding.
