When you see a Stop sign, you must come to a complete stop and yield the right of way to traffic on the intersecting road and to pedestrians before proceeding. Stopping gives you a moment to look for vehicles that might be crossing or turning, and for pedestrians in or approaching the crossing. After stopping, wait for a safe gap and proceed only when it is clear. Slowing down and going ahead isn’t enough, and stopping only if there’s traffic would ignore pedestrians and the required full stop. Honking and then proceeding isn’t an appropriate or safe response.
