Question for OP..Is a child crossing sign (yellow diamond of parent stick figure holding child stick figures hand) in a school zone considered a "Stop Sign" during non school hours? The reason I ask is because a while back I was driving in the community my mom lives in on a weekend. A cop pulled me over for what was written as a "rolling stop through a stop sign". So I asked the cop which stop sign it was and he told me the one on the corner of Menta Street which is where the child crossing sign is. I didnt argue but was kind of confused as to him saying it was a stop sign. I thought of it as a yield sign which is why i came to a slow creep of about 5mph and made the right turn instead of a complete stop. it was a $140 ticket with no points and no course needed. I ended up taking pics of the sign later that day because I really wanted to show up to court to fight it but didnt want to face extra court fees if for some reason it was truly considered a stop sign.
