1. Stop sign
A stop sign requires drivers to bring their vehicle to a complete stop and give way before entering or crossing the road ahead. The stop must be made at the stop line or another legally prescribed position.
After stopping, the driver may continue only when this can be done safely and without interfering with traffic that has priority. The sign does not create priority for the driver who has stopped.
Must I stop completely at a stop sign in Bangladesh?
Yes. Come to a complete stop when the applicable stop sign controls your approach, even when you cannot see another road user. Slowing to a crawl is not a stop. The stopping duty is separate from the duty to give way before continuing.
Stop and give way.
English • Traffic sign A1 • Stop and give way. Come to a complete stop. Give way to traffic with priority and proceed when it is safe.
বাংলা • A1 • থামুন ও আগে যেতে দিন. সম্পূর্ণ থামুন। অগ্রাধিকারপ্রাপ্ত যানবাহনকে আগে যেতে দিয়ে নিরাপদ হলে এগিয়ে যান।

Where must I stop at a stop-controlled junction in Bangladesh?
Stop before the marked stop line or, if none is provided, before entering the junction as directed by the stop-sign arrangement. Read an advance warning separately; it does not replace the stop at the actual junction.
Does stopping first give me priority at a stop sign in Bangladesh?
A complete stop does not, by itself, give you priority. Give way to the road users entitled to pass under the junction’s signs and rules, check pedestrians and cyclists, and proceed only when the gap is safe. Do not follow another stopped vehicle through without satisfying your own stopping and yielding duties.
