At a red light, where should you stop your vehicle if there is a painted stop line on the pavement?
Show Answer & Explanation
Correct Answer: B. At the stop line
Stop at the stop line — not before, not past. Past the line you block pedestrians and cross traffic; before it wastes space and delays traffic flow. The stop line is placed to give pedestrians and cross traffic clear passage.

- A.Past the stop line, closer to the intersectionStopping past the stop line blocks pedestrians or enters the intersection illegally.
- C.In the middle of the intersectionStopping in the middle of the intersection is dangerous and unlawful; you must stop before entering.
- D.As soon as you see the red light, even if far backStopping far back from the stop line creates unnecessary traffic buildup; the stop line is the correct position.
