‘Rolling stops’ seem more common these days, what’s the law at stop signs?

Q: Steve Wilson of Forest Falls, in the San Bernardino National Forest, asked about the laws regarding stop signs. “No one comes to a full stop anymore at stop signs,” has the law changed?

A: The law requiring a full and complete stop at stop signs has not changed, regardless of how many drivers fail to fully stop. Every driver must come to a full stop behind the limit line, crosswalk, or entrance to the intersection.

“Rolling stops are a common cause of neighborhood collisions and pedestrian close calls. We encourage all motorists to slow down, stop completely, and take a moment to check for others. Courtesy on the road goes a long way toward keeping our communities safe,” said Officer Ivan Sandoval of the California Highway Patrol Inland Division.
