Korean Stop Sign - “정지” Traffic Sign Meaning and Usage #1887518 (License: Personal Use)

This is the official stop sign used throughout South Korea, featuring the Hangul characters “정지” (pronounced “jeong-ji”), which translate directly to “Stop.” The sign follows international conventions with its red octagonal shape and white border, ensuring high visibility and immediate recognition by drivers. It legally mandates full vehicle stop before proceeding, identical in function to English-language stop signs.

Used on roads, intersections, and pedestrian crossings in South Korea; appears in driver’s education materials, traffic law guides, travel blogs, and multilingual signage resources for tourists and expats.
