In this situation, are you required to stop in front of this transverse line?
Show the correct answer
Correct answer
YES
Explanation
In the video you are approaching a junction in town where the traffic lights above the lanes show a red light, and a man with a dog is walking across the crossing; before the crossing a transverse line made up of rectangles is painted - P-14. You are required to stop before this line. The answer is: yes.
The Regulation on road signs and signals states that a red signal means a ban on driving beyond the traffic lights, and if the traffic lights are placed above the roadway, the stop required by the signal should take place before the stop line, or, if there is no stop line, before the roadway above which the traffic lights hang; marking P-14 "give-way line made up of rectangles" shows the place to stop, among others before a pedestrian crossing. Stopping before the line leaves the whole crossing free for pedestrians and keeps the traffic lights visible to you. You stop a few dozen centimetres before the line, not on the stripes, and move off on green once the man with the dog has left the roadway.
Legal basis: § 95 para. 1 point 3, § 99 para. 2 and § 89 para. 3 point 2 of the Regulation on road signs and signals
