- A variation of the stop sign carrying an extra stop sign lower on the same support. It places exactly the same duty on you as an ordinary stop sign.
What the Stop (additional low-mounted sign) sign means
Two stop signs on one pole — a second, smaller one mounted low down. It is still one stop instruction, not two.
What you must do
Treat it exactly as an ordinary stop sign: stop behind the line, or level with the sign if there is no line, and move off only when it is safe.

Full access adds the confusion Stop (additional low-mounted sign) is most often mistaken for and the hint for the test, on this sign and every other one — plus practice questions and timed mock papers. The practice sample and the readiness test are free.
