Shape of a stop sign (7)

I believe the answer is:

octagon

(Other definitions for octagon that I've seen before include "An eight-sided polygon" , "Geometric figure with eight sides" , "Figure with 8 sides" , "with eight angles" , "Figure of many sides" .)

I've seen this clue in the New York Times and The Times.
