Are you always obliged to stop before the designated line prior to entering the visible intersection?
Show the correct answer
Correct answer
YES
Explanation
In the photo you can see the entry to a junction, with sign B-20 "STOP" and a pedestrian crossing sign, and a mandatory stop line P-12 painted on the roadway before the junction. Before entering such a junction you are always obliged to stop before the marked line - the answer is YES.
Sign B-20 "STOP" means that you must not enter the junction without stopping before the priority road, and that you must give way to drivers travelling on that road. Line P-12 shows the place where you must stop. Stopping is always compulsory, even when the road you are crossing seems empty - a full stop lets you look around carefully. Only then do you move off, letting vehicles on the priority road go first. On a moped you stop by putting your foot on the ground.
