68  Stopping and giving way at a stop sign or stop line at other places
 (1) A driver approaching or at a place with a stop sign or stop line must stop and give way in accordance with this rule, unless the place is:
 (a) an intersection; or
 (b) a children's crossing; or
 (c) an area of a road that is not a children's crossing only because it does not have:
 (i) children crossing flags; or
 (ii) children's crossing signs and twin yellow lights; or
 (d) a level crossing; or
 (e) a place with twin red lights.
Offence provision.
Examples
1: A stop sign at a break in a dividing strip dividing the part of the road used by the main body of moving vehicles from a service road.
2: A stop sign on an exit from a carpark where the exit joins the road.
Note 1: Children's crossing is defined in rule 80, intersection, stop line and twin red lights are defined in the dictionary, and level crossing is defined in rule 120.
Note 2: For this rule, give way means the driver must remain stationary until it is safe for the driver to proceed—see the definition in the dictionary.
Note 3: For the stopping and giving way rules applying to a driver at an intersection or level crossing with a stop sign or stop line, see rule 67 (intersections) and rule 121 (level crossings). Rule 80 deals with stopping at a stop line at a children's crossing.
 (2) The driver must stop as near as practicable to, but before reaching:
 (a) the stop line; or
 (b) if there is no stop line—the stop sign.
 (3) The driver must give way to any vehicle or pedestrian at or near the stop line or stop sign.
