A '''''STOP'' sign''' was a red octagonal traffic sign notifying drivers that they had to stop and give way to other traffic before proceeding.

==History==
On [[March 3]], [[1986]], Dr. [[Emmett Brown]] — who had amnesia due to having been subjected to Officer [[Griff Tannen]]'s [[bionic implant]] disabling device in [[2035]] — crashed his [[steam time car]] into a sign of this kind at a T-junction in [[Hill Valley]], leaving the post buckled and the sign knocked down.

The towing service [[Lee Bros. Towing & Repair]] towed the steam time car to their yard, believing it had been abandoned, leaving a company flyer attached to the demolished ''STOP'' sign (with what appeared to be a piece of chewing gum) to let the owner know where the vehicle was towed. The flyer was found by Doc, [[Marty McFly]] and [[Jennifer Parker]] when they arrived at the T-junction in the unmodified [[DeLorean DMC-12]].
