Cross Traffic Does Not Stop Signs FAQ
What does a Cross Traffic Does Not Stop sign mean?
It is a plaque mounted below a STOP sign that warns you the road you are crossing does not stop. You must come to a full stop and wait for a safe gap, because the intersecting (cross) traffic has the right of way and will not stop for you.
Where is a Cross Traffic Does Not Stop sign used?
It is used at two-way stop intersections where only your approach has a stop sign and the through road does not. It reminds drivers that this is not an all-way stop, so they cannot assume the cross traffic will also stop.
What is the difference between Cross Traffic, Traffic From Left/Right, and Oncoming Traffic Does Not Stop?
They specify which traffic does not stop. Cross Traffic Does Not Stop is the general version for the road crossing your path; Traffic From Left and Traffic From Right call out one direction; and Oncoming Traffic Does Not Stop is used where the road ahead of you does not stop. Left and right arrow versions point to the direction to watch.
Is Cross Traffic Does Not Stop a supplemental plaque?
Yes. The W4-4 series is a supplemental (educational) plaque installed directly beneath the primary STOP sign. It adds information; it does not replace the stop sign.
What color and shape are these signs?
They are rectangular plaques with black legend on a white background, matching the regulatory STOP sign they mount below. Arrow versions add a black directional arrow.
What sizes are available and can I customize the wording?
Common plaque sizes are 18x12 inches and 24x12 inches to match the stop sign above. We can also customize the wording or arrow direction to fit your intersection. Signs are printed on rust-proof .080" aluminum with reflective sheeting.
