Where are drivers required to stop for stop signs?

• A. Stop lines
• B. Crosswalk
• C. Before intersection starts
• D. Stop lines, crosswalk, before intersection starts

Answer: (D)

When you reach a stop sign, you must come to a complete stop and be able to yield to other traffic and pedestrians. The place you stop is defined by what’s painted on the road and the layout ahead: a stop line tells you exactly where to stop, a crosswalk marks where pedestrians cross and you should stop before entering it, and if there’s no stop line or crosswalk, you stop before the intersection starts so you can look for oncoming traffic and proceed safely. Because all of these possibilities cover every realistic situation you might encounter at a stop sign, the best answer includes stopping at stop lines, at the crosswalk, or before the intersection begins. This ensures you’re in the right position to observe and yield as required.
