Road Signs
You approach a stop sign in a residential area. There is no painted stop line and no marked crosswalk at the corner. Where should you bring your vehicle to a complete stop?
Show Answer & Explanation
Correct Answer: A. Just before entering the intersection, where you can see approaching traffic
When no stop line or crosswalk is marked, stop close enough to the intersection to see approaching traffic from both sides, but not so far forward that you block cross traffic. Stopping too far back leaves you blind to oncoming vehicles; stopping inside the intersection endangers everyone.
Why the other answers are wrong
- B.In the middle of the intersection so you can check all directionsStopping inside the intersection is unsafe and blocks cross traffic; stop signs require the stop to occur before entering the intersection, not within it.
- C.Continue driving slowly if the way appears clearA stop sign is always a full-stop obligation regardless of how clear the way looks; 'continue if clear' applies to yield signs, not stop signs.
- D.Exactly ten metres back from the signThere is no fixed distance rule like '10 metres back'; the stop must be close enough to the intersection to see and judge cross traffic safely.
