Information About Motor Vehicle Crashes at Stop Signs

A study conducted by NCBI found that:

• Stop sign violations accounted for about 70% of all crashes.
•  Stop sign violation crashes were classified into several subtypes – driver stopped, driver did not stop, snow/wet/ice, and other/unknown. In about two-thirds of stop sign violation crashes, drivers said they had first come to a stop. In these cases, inability or failure to see approaching traffic often was cited as the cause of the crash.
•  Drivers younger than 18 as well as drivers 65 and older were disproportionately found to be at fault in crashes at stop signs.
