New South Wales · Driver Knowledge Test (DKT) · Road rules

A traffic controller at roadworks holds up a 'Stop' sign. What must you do?

The answer

  • Ignore it — only fixed signs are enforceable
  • Slow down and pass carefully
  • Stop, and remain at a complete stop until directed to go Correct
  • Stop only if other vehicles are present

Why that's the answer

You must stop at a 'Stop' sign held by a traffic controller and remain at a complete stop until they direct you to proceed. Roadwork speed limit signs must also be obeyed.
