Does the word "STOP" on the roadway confirm the marking of the entry to the junction with a vertical "stop" sign?
Show the correct answer
Correct answer
YES
Explanation
In the photo you are approaching a priority road on a slip road, and a dark car is driving along the priority road; the word "STOP" is painted on your lane - road marking P-16. This marking confirms that the entry to the junction is marked with the vertical sign B-20 STOP. The answer is: yes.
The Regulation on road signs and signals states that markings P-15 "give-way triangle" and P-16 "STOP marking" confirm that the entry to a junction is marked with signs A-7 and B-20 respectively. Sign B-20 prohibits entering the junction without stopping before the priority road and requires you to give way to those driving on that road. The marking on the roadway is an extra reminder in case the vertical sign is hidden by a lorry or branches. You stop completely before the line, check the road in both directions and enter when it is clear.
Legal basis: § 89 para. 4 and § 21 para. 1 of the Regulation on road signs and signals
