There are two concepts that come into play when complying with a stop sign. The first is to come to a complete stop. The second is to yield to any conflicting traffic prior to entering the intersection. What many people fail to realize is that the first action is largely unnecessary when there is sufficient visibility to check for conflicting traffic prior to actually reaching the intersection. As long as one yields to conflicting traffic, coming to a full stop is immaterial to intersection safety.
