stop sign runner

Ignored octagonal warning

A stop sign runner is a driver who fails to come to a complete stop at a stop sign, either rolling through or ignoring it entirely.

The term appears most often in traffic enforcement and neighborhood safety discussions: A stop sign runner nearly hit my kid in the crosswalk.

Also called a rolling stop or California stop when the vehicle slows but doesn't fully stop.
