Stop sign rule in the Philippines

Stop signs can be seen at intersections where visibility is reduced or there is a risk of other traffic entering your path. It should be mandatory to stop at a stop sign. Unfortunately, many Pinoy drivers ignore this, and this puts them and other road users in a riskier situation.

At stop signs, you should always stop at the limit line of an intersection or crosswalk to yield to approaching vehicles or pedestrians, and proceed only when it is safe to do so. If there’s a stop sign but no line, then stop before coming into, but as near to the intersection as you can; you can always edge forward to have a better view after you’ve stopped.
