What it means
Come to a complete stop before the stop line. Do not proceed until it is safe and legal to do so.
Common mistake
Rolling through without fully stopping — even a slow roll is a legal violation under s.177A.
Memory hook
Octagonal red — the only 8-sided sign in India. Shape alone tells you to stop even if the paint is faded.
Lawful provides legal information, not legal advice.
