The road sign pictured means:

You may not proceed on the road you are traveling on.
Stop only if necessary.
Come to a complete stop.
Slow down and proceed with caution.
Explanation

A stop sign requires drivers to make a complete stop at the marked stop line, crosswalk, or intersection edge - regardless of visible traffic. This means a full stop (not a "rolling stop"), where the wheels must cease all movement. At stop-controlled intersections, you never have the right-of-way and must yield to pedestrians in crosswalks, oncoming vehicles (including motorcycles and bicycles), and any rail traffic before proceeding. After stopping, check all directions and enter the intersection only when clear.
