You can get a Georgia traffic citation for not coming to a complete stop at a stop sign.
Stops signs are placed on the roads to keep people safe. When you approach a stop sign, you are legally required to come to a full and complete stop. You are required to stop even if there is no opposing traffic.
Many people in an attempt to keep their momentum will put their foot down on their brake and slow down, but right before they completely stop they will take their foot of the brake and essentially roll through the stop sign. This is commonly referred to as a “California roll.”
California rolls are the best way to get a traffic ticket in Georgia. Police officers have been known to hide out and watch for people who do not come to complete stops. They will then pull you over and issue you a ticket.
Failure to stop at a stop sign is a Georgia traffic infraction that will impose three penalty points on your license. Accumulating points on your license in Georgia can lead to your driving privileges being revoked. The best thing to do at a stop sign is to take the extra amount of time to come to a full and complete stop.
