All-way plaque
A red plaque reading ALL WAY, mounted under a stop sign. It shows that every approach to the intersection has a stop sign.
How to read it
The MUTCD requires the plaque below each stop sign where all approaches are controlled by stop signs, and allows it only there. Florida's handbook describes the order at such an intersection: vehicles go through in the order they arrived, and when two arrive at about the same time, each driver yields to the one on the right.
Rules vary by state and country. This explains the sign's standard meaning in the U.S. Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices; it isn't legal advice.
FOUR-WAY or ALL WAY
Pennsylvania's manual speaks of a FOUR-WAY STOP sign. The 2009 MUTCD does not allow plaques reading 2-WAY, 3-WAY, 4-WAY or any other number of ways under stop signs, so the plaque reads ALL WAY.
