Korean Stop Sign - “정지” Traffic Sign Meaning and Usage #2008748 (License: Personal Use)

This image shows the official South Korean stop sign, an octagonal red sign with a white border and the Hangul characters “정지” (pronounced “jeong-ji”), meaning “Stop.” The design follows international conventions for stop signage while using native script to ensure clarity for local motorists. It is legally binding and requires full vehicle stop at intersections or designated points.

Used on Korean roads, highways, and urban intersections where mandatory stopping is required; commonly seen in driver’s education materials, traffic law guides, and multilingual travel resources for visitors to South Korea.
