Regulatory sign · Stop and give way
When the lights are off or flashing yellow, stop here, then give way as at a stop sign.
What it means
Our red octagon has a white panel near the top holding three black circles stacked like a traffic light with every lamp dark, and STOP in white below it. It sits beside a set of signals. While those lights work, follow them. When they are out or flashing yellow, this sign takes over: you make a full stop at the line, then give way before you go.
Check whether the signals are working as you approach.
If they are dark or flashing yellow, stop fully at the line.
Give way as you would at any stop sign, then go when it is clear.
Right.Not quite. The answer is A.
This stop sign only applies when the lights are off or flashing yellow. Treat the corner as a stop sign: stop, then give way.

Right.Not quite. The answer is B.
With the lights out this sign takes over and works like any stop sign, so you stop every time, even on an empty road.
