Meaning
All Way is a companion to Stop: it tells you that every approach to the junction has a stop requirement. That information helps you anticipate how arrivals are handled. The plaque does not give one approach an automatic priority over all the others.
What to do
Florida’s handbook puts vehicles through the intersection in arrival order. The first arrival goes first. For approximately simultaneous arrivals, each driver gives way to a vehicle on the right. Notice when others arrived rather than assuming your straight-ahead movement always outranks a turn.
Where it is used
The federal standard mounts All Way beneath each Stop sign at an intersection where all approaches are stop-controlled. It is a supplemental plaque, so read it together with Stop above it. A standalone Stop without this plaque does not tell you that every other approach must stop.
A sign to tell apart
The Stop panel tells you to stop on your approach. All Way adds information about the other approaches. Florida’s arrival-order and right-side yielding rules apply to the all-way situation discussed here; do not assume crossing traffic has a stop sign merely because you do.
Practice with explanations
These are original learning questions based on the cited handbooks. Read each answer and its explanation below.
1. Two vehicles reach a Florida all-way stop at different times. Which should proceed first?
- The vehicle that reached the intersection first.
- The vehicle with more passengers.
- The vehicle that is closer to the centerline.
Answer: A. The vehicle that reached the intersection first.
Florida uses arrival order at an all-way stop. The first vehicle to reach the junction should move first.
2. You and a driver on your right arrive at a Florida all-way stop at approximately the same time. Who should yield?
- The driver on your right must yield to you.
- You must yield to the driver on your right.
- Neither driver is required to yield.
Answer: B. You must yield to the driver on your right.
When arrivals are approximately simultaneous, each driver yields to traffic on the right.
