New York City Stop Sign Ticket Attorney
What Constitutes a Stop Sign Violation in NY?
A stop sign violation occurs when a driver fails to come to a complete stop at a stop sign as required by New York VTL § 1172(a).
According to this statute, drivers must stop at the clearly marked stop line or, if none, before entering the crosswalk on the near side of the intersection. If there is no crosswalk, drivers must stop at the point nearest the intersecting roadway where they have a clear view of approaching traffic.
Common actions that result in stop sign violations include:
- Rolling stops: Slowing down but not coming to a complete stop.
- Failing to stop at the correct point: Stopping past the stop line, crosswalk, or intersection.
- Ignoring the stop sign: Not stopping at all.
