stop sign ahead printable pdf
A warning sign telling the driver that a Stop sign follows a short distance ahead, so speed can be reduced before the stop line. It does not itself require a halt; it prepares the driver for the compulsory stop that follows.
Where is it used and when is it required?
Used ahead of compulsory stop points in large car parks, residential compounds, malls and construction sites, especially where the Stop sign is hidden behind a bend or a building. This version is intended for private and internal roads; signs on public roads must be installed by the municipality or the competent roads authority.
Regulation notes
Signage on public roads in Saudi Arabia and the UAE is the responsibility of the municipality or the competent roads authority, and must follow the GCC traffic sign manual for shape, colour and size. These files are intended for private property, car parks and temporary site use, and are not a substitute for official road signs.
- Mount it on a post with the bottom edge 2.0–2.5 m above the road surface, far enough ahead of the Stop sign to allow slowing down.
- A3 is the practical choice for internal roads and entrances; A4 is enough for short aisles and covered car parks.
- Print on reflective stock or mount it on reflective tape so the symbol stays visible at night under headlights.
Size guide
Choose the size from the maximum distance the sign must be read from (ISO 3864-1 guidance).
