Are you obliged to stop at this sign in the presented situation?
Show the correct answer
Correct answer
NO
Explanation
In the photo you are driving along a narrow street in a small town, and next to the building on the right there is sign B-20 "STOP". There is no stop line on the roadway. The sign does not tell you to stop exactly where it stands: you stop at a place from which you can see the priority road, and this may be a few metres further on, right at the junction. The answer is: no.
The Regulation on road signs and signals says that at B-20 you should stop at the place marked for this purpose, and if there is none - at a place where the driver can make sure that he will not obstruct traffic on the priority road. Here the sign stands by the wall of a town house, which blocks the view to the right; stopping before it would be pointless. You drive slowly up to the edge of the junction and stop there.
Legal basis: § 21 para. 1 and 2 of the Regulation on road signs and signals
