True or False: If you can't see traffic from the first stop at a stop sign, you must go forward for a second stop.

When approaching a stop sign, the first rule is to come to a complete stop, allowing you to assess the traffic situation. If your view is obstructed from the stop line and you cannot see oncoming traffic, it is necessary to inch forward cautiously until you have a clear line of sight to assess the traffic. However, you are still required to make a complete stop first.

The statement implies that proceeding into the intersection without stopping first would be permissible, which contradicts traffic laws aimed at ensuring safety. Thus, it is not accurate to suggest that one can simply move forward if they cannot see traffic. You're expected to stop fully and only then can you proceed cautiously if needed, but moving forward without stopping is not allowed. This principle helps maintain safety at intersections, preventing accidents that could occur from misjudging the speed and distance of approaching vehicles.

It's also important to note that simply going forward without adequate visibility can lead to dangerous situations, making the assertion that one must go forward if they can't see traffic not universally true or advisable. Always ensuring a complete stop at a stop sign is critical in reinforcing safety on the road.
