Question: An 'Arrêt' sign means:

Answer options: ✅ Stop

  • Slow
  • Yield
  • Caution

Correct answer: Stop

Explanation: Under Quebec’s Highway Safety Code, the red octagonal sign bearing the word "Arrêt" is the French equivalent of a stop sign, legally requiring drivers to bring their vehicle to a complete stop before the stop line or intersection. The options "Slow," "Yield," and "Caution" are incorrect because they represent different traffic controls, such as yellow advisory signs or triangular yield signs, which do not mandate a full stop unless traffic requires it. Knowing French road terminology is highly relevant for the SAAQ knowledge exam, as Quebec primarily uses French signage. Drivers must accurately identify regulatory signs to ensure legal compliance on public roads.
