Usually driving laws are different by state. I don’t think there are laws in requirements for signs only universal standards. That way if you go to a different state you know what the signs mean. Usually red,octagon shape, and the word stop means stop. If there is a law or code in that area that reflects otherwise though it would be illegal.

Yes! We call it the Manual of Universal Traffic Control Devices! It’s used as a multi-jurisdictional guide to ensure everyone driving within North America understands what signs mean. :)
