One of the cross streets had a particularly low-visibility turn entering the intersection, almost always forcing Sgt. Jackson to slow down and hold back the traffic entering from that street. Looking for ways to make his job easier, he took a rectangular piece of plywood, cut off the corners to give it a distinct shape, wrote "STOP" over the center and placed facing the street. He noticed that his innovation improved the overall traffic flow through the intersection.

Another consideration of the AASHO was visibility and driver literacy, as summarized in subsequent State Highway Commission reports in the states of the U.S., was that the goal for signs "standardized throughout the Union" was that "The shape of the sign will indicate what it will mean.

At a junction where two or more traffic directions are controlled by stop signs, US and Canada practice generally has the driver who arrives and stops first continue first.

Relatively long distance between the stop sign and the crossroad facilitates accurate perception of the speed of approaching cross traffic, but lengthens the time and distance required to enter and clear the junction. Relatively short distance between the stop sign and the crossroad shortens the time required for safe passage through the intersection, but degrades the ability of the stopped driver to accurately perceive the speed of approaching cross traffic. Specifically, drivers approaching an intersection from beyond the <a href="/wiki/Visual_acuity#Subtended_angular_velocity_detection_threshold_(SAVT)" title="Visual acuity">subtended angular velocity detection threshold (SAVT)</a> limit may be perceived by a stopped driver as standing still rather than approaching,<sup id="cite_ref-Weinberger_50-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Weinberger-50"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>50<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> which means the stopped driver may not make an accurate decision as to whether it is safe to proceed past the stop sign.<sup id="cite_ref-looming_51-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-looming-51"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>51<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Whether the distance between the stop sign and the crossroad is officially short or is shortened by drivers creeping past the stop line, they can lose the <a href="/wiki/Visual_acuity#Lateral_motion" title="Visual acuity">visual acuity of lateral motion</a>,<sup id="cite_ref-JoV_52-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-JoV-52"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>52<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> leaving them to rely on the <a href="/wiki/Visual_acuity#Subtended_angular_velocity_detection_threshold_(SAVT)" title="Visual acuity">SAVT</a>.<sup id="cite_ref-looming_51-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-looming-51"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>51<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> This can make it challenging to accurately estimate the movement of approaching cross traffic.<sup id="cite_ref-looming_51-2" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-looming-51"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>51<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-Weinberger_50-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Weinberger-50"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>50<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> According to recent game-theoretical analysis, at intersections where all directions face stop signs, drivers have strong incentives to run the stop sign.
