Texas Stop Signs

Texas Stop Signs Placement

The Texas Transportation Commission, or local authority with a highway under its jurisdiction, may designate a state or county highway as a through highway and place a stop or yield sign at a specified entrance.  They can also designate an intersection on a state or county highway as a stop intersection or a yield intersection and place a sign at one or more entrances to the intersection.  The game of Red-Light-Green-Light you played as a kid was actually preparation for these kinds of roads.
           

The stop or yield sign indicating the preferential right-of-way must conform to the manual and specifications adopted under the Texas Transportation Code and be located as near as practicable to the nearest line of the crosswalk or in the absence of a crosswalk, at the nearest line of the roadway. 

If you get a ticket for not having your lights on, you can always take our Texas Defensive Driving Course.
