Stop Signs: What, Where and Who

by Seth Azria on 1/02/2024

What

Failing to stop for a stop sign violates New York vehicle and traffic law section 1172a. If convicted, or plead guilty, a driver will:

  • be fined a maximum of $150,
  • pay a $93 (or $88 in cities) surcharge; and,
  • have 3 points added to their driving record.

Where

A driver approaching a stop sign must stop at a clearly marked stop line. If there is no line, then the driver must stop before entering the crosswalk. If there is no crosswalk, the driver must stop nearest to the intersecting roadway with a view of the approaching traffic but without entering the intersection. NY VTL 1172

Who

All drivers must stop at stop signs. But not those drivers who act involuntarily because of unforeseen seizures and blackouts and was unconscious at the time the car ran the stop sign. People v. Soe, 9 Misc. 3d 1069 (J. Ct. 2005).

Excellent working with Seth...Seth assisted us with navigating the court system in NY state. The speeding ticket had no information and the city's documentation was too complicated and obscure for us to comprehend. Our case was concluded very much to our satisfaction. I highly recommend Seth to anyone who receives a speeding ticket in NY.

Would Recommend to Anyone

Seth Azria was recommended to me by a friend. I can't say enough about how well I was treated, his responsiveness, and how my case was handled. My first call to him was on 12/22/14 and we met the same day. My first and last date in court was 1/15/15. The outcome was better than I ever expected it could be and would recommend him to anyone.

Yelp Review

I am very pleased with the outcome of my case. I contacted Ralph Habib from the Azria & Bruffett group to represent me in my defense in connection with a speeding ticket. I had the opportunity to speak with Mr. Habib and found him to be professional and diligent in this area of law. I felt his background and experience would undoubtedly be the right choice. Shannon Liparulo the Paralegal was great at keeping me informed as to the status and sharing the outcome of the case with me. She always answered and returned my calls and emails. I honestly recommend Mr. Ralph Habib and the team from Azria & Bruffett! Thank you Mr. Habib and Shannon. From Mel. S.

Seth Azria helped me and he can help you!

Seth provided me with everything necessary to reduce my ticket and worked with me through every little detail. He kept me up to date on each exchange that happened between the court and my case. He reduced it to it's lowest amount and charged me very little for doing so and appearing in court on my behalf. I would highly recommend him to anyone in the area. Thanks again Seth.
