100 yards to a junction ahead controlled by a STOP sign
A countdown rectangle giving you 100 yards' notice of a STOP junction — about the length of a football pitch. STOP signs require a full halt at the line, not a roll-through. Start braking now so you can come to a clean stop without panic.

Where you'll see this sign
On fast rural approaches to T-junctions where visibility is poor, and where the STOP sign itself is partly hidden by terrain or vegetation.
