When approaching a stop sign, you must:

Slow down and proceed without stopping if there is no traffic.
Come to a complete stop, even if there is no traffic, and proceed when it is safe.
Slow down and yield the right-of-way to vehicles on the left.
Come to a complete stop only if there are other vehicles at the intersection.

The correct answer is: Come to a complete stop, even if there is no traffic, and proceed when it is safe.

When approaching a stop sign, it is important to follow proper traffic laws in order to ensure the safety of yourself and others on the road. Option A is incorrect because it contradicts the fundamental rule of coming to a complete stop at a stop sign. Even if there is no traffic, you must still stop completely and yield to any potential traffic that may be approaching. Option C may seem like an acceptable response, as drivers are usually supposed to yield to vehicles on their left, but in the context of a stop sign, it is incorrect. Thirdly, option D is incorrect because it suggests that you only need to stop if there are other vehicles present, which is not the case. Overall, option B is the most correct answer as it ensures the safe and responsible behavior of stopping completely at a stop sign before proceeding.
