In this situation, do you have to stop immediately in front of the stopping line and not in front of the sign?
Show the correct answer
Correct answer
YES
Explanation
In the video you drive along an estate street to a junction; before it, on the right, there is sign B-20 "STOP", and a mandatory stop line P-12 and a pedestrian crossing are painted on the roadway. In this situation you must stop directly in front of the stop line. The answer is: yes.
The Regulation on road signs and signals states that sign B-20 means a ban on entering the junction without stopping before the priority road and an obligation to give way to vehicles on that road, and that you should stop at the place marked for this purpose; line P-12 is such a place. You stop completely - the wheels must stop turning - even when the road looks empty. After stopping, if the line is far from the junction and you cannot see the intersecting road, you move forward slowly to a place from which you can make sure that nobody is coming.
Legal basis: § 21 para. 1 and 2 and § 89 para. 1 of the Regulation on road signs and signals
