STOP

B07

Stop; give way to drivers on the intersecting road

What it means

Two obligations at once: first come to a complete standstill, then give way. The duty to stop applies even when nobody is coming.

What it requires of you

Standing still means standing still: the wheels must come to a stop. Rolling slowly through with a glance sideways is not stopping, and that is exactly what gets checked.

Where it stands

On the side road, right before the junction, usually with a stop line on the road surface. Used where visibility is poor or the situation is dangerous.

How far it applies

Applies to the junction it stands before.

Who it applies to

bestuurder

The duty to stop applies to every driver, including the cyclist.

Do not confuse it with

  • B06

    B7 always requires stopping; B6 only requires giving way.
