Are you allowed in this situation to drive into the intersection without stopping the vehicle before the presented solid line?
Show the correct answer
Correct answer
NO
Explanation
In the photo you are approaching a junction with sign B-20 "STOP" placed on the left side and a pedestrian crossing; after the crossing, just before the intersecting road, a solid line is painted - mandatory stop line P-12. You must not enter the junction without stopping before this line, even when the road seems clear. The answer is: no.
The Regulation on road signs and signals states that sign B-20 means that you must not enter the junction without stopping before the priority road, and line P-12 shows the place of this stop. The stop must be complete - slowing down alone is not enough. You stop before the line, assess the traffic on the priority road and drive in only when you will not obstruct anyone.
Legal basis: § 21 para. 1 and 2 and § 89 para. 1 of the Regulation on road signs and signals
