BDifficulty 2/5

Does the white word STOP painted on the carriageway as a horizontal sign have the same compulsory-stop meaning as vertical sign R-2?

Correct answer

Yes, both mean a compulsory stop and giving way.

Yes. This horizontal sign requires stopping and giving way under the corresponding STOP rules. This does not mean every white road marking has an equivalent vertical sign: lane lines, arrows and other markings serve different functions. Conflicting signals are resolved using article 133’s priority order; obey officers and higher-ranking signals.
