It can, or it can slow it down, as with car brakes.
For moving objects, friction transforms kinetic energy into heat or other physical forces (ripping, tearing). As an example, conventional disk brakes slow a wheel down by pressing two surfaces together, generating heat. However, if a car's tires were to suddenly go flat, their rolling friction would become dragging friction, heating and tearing the rubber, and the car would probably not keep moving for very far.

When can motion stop friction?
Motion can never stop friction since friction is the resistance of the medium object travel in.
How does friction affect perpetual motion?
When there is friction - as is usually the case - motion will eventually stop.

Why is friction needed in the brakes?
Newton's First Law of Motion states: "An object in motion, remains in motion, unless acted upon by an outside force". Friction is an additional outside force that stops the motion of a vehicle faster. Without friction, the vehicle would never stop until it crashed into something.
When can motion stop friction?
Motion can never stop friction since friction is the resistance of the medium object travel in.
Friction and its advantage to human motion?
There are many reasons why friction is an advantage to human motion. Friction helps humans to stop when they need to stop.

Does friction stop thing from moving?
Friction can stop an object in motion eventually. Friction causes drag on the object's motion energy and slows the object down by transferring the energy from one type to another. When the energy which acted on the object to put the object in motion is fully transferred, the object's motion will stop in the direction the motion and friction are applied. An example of this type of friction is the brake on a car. Friction can, however cause the object to change the direction of motion and simply stop affecting the object afterward. An example of this type of friction is the bumper rail of a pool table.
What are the effects of friction on the performance of the vehicle?
It will slow down the vehicle and prevent motion.
Can you stop motion?
Motion will quite often stop by itself, due to friction. You can also stop it by pushing backward.
What does friction help to do?
Stop or slow an objects motion.
