FAQ
Following stop signs and signals is crucial because light commercial vehicles often carry cargo and have different handling characteristics compared to personal vehicles. Non-compliance can lead to serious accidents and fatalities.
Exit the vehicle immediately and call local law enforcement for assistance. Only attempt to restart the vehicle if you can post lookouts to warn of approaching trains.
Use the "stop-plus-one rule" by counting an additional second after stopping to scan for hazards before proceeding. This helps ensure a thorough check of the intersection.
Running a stop sign or red light increases the likelihood of fatal accidents and serious injuries, as well as legal and financial repercussions.
Plan your routes to allow extra time for delays. If running late, notify your supervisor and explain that you will arrive as soon as safe driving allows.
