K53 Control Signs : Guiding Traffic Flow
K53 Control Signs provide instructions on where to stop, where to yield, the permitted direction of travel, and specific rules that apply. Here’s what you need to know:
- Permanent K53 Control Signs: These signs are red and white, often with a black symbol, and come in different shapes.
- Examples include stop signs, yield signs, one-way signs, and signs indicating special regulations.

You have to stop in line with the stop sign, or before the stop line and move only when it is safe to do so.

If you are proceeding straight ahead, or turning right, stop in line with the stop sign or before the line. If you are turning left you may turn without stopping if it is safe to go and always give way to any cross traffic and pedestrians

You must stop in line with the Stop sign or before the line. If more than one vehicle stops at the intersection, the vehicle that stopped first should go first.

This is a manually operated sign, stop when necessary and proceed cautiously when GO is displayed.

You must yield to other traffic. Give way to other traffic as well as pedestrians crossing or waiting to cross your path.
