In this situation, stopping the vehicle to yield the right of way should occur directly before the mandatory stop line?
Show the correct answer
Correct answer
YES
Explanation
In the video you are driving along a street in a city and approaching a junction; on the right, before the junction, there is sign B-20 "STOP"; first you pass a pedestrian crossing, and beyond it, just before the side roadway, a thick solid line P-12 is painted, at which the car in front of you stops; cars are driving along the intersecting road. Stopping to give way should take place directly before this line. The answer is: yes.
The Regulation on road signs and signals states that sign B-20 means that you must not enter the junction without stopping in front of the priority road, and you should stop at the place marked for this purpose; marking P-12 "mandatory stop line - STOP" shows the place where a vehicle stops because of sign B-20. The line is painted where you can see the intersecting road and where a stopped vehicle does not block the main roadway - stopping a few metres earlier would show you nothing, and driving past the line would put the front of the car onto the priority road. First you drive over the crossing, giving way to pedestrians, then you stop so that the front of the car does not cross the line, look left and right, and enter when the road is clear.
Legal basis: § 21 para. 1 and 2 and § 89 para. 1 of the Regulation on road signs and signals
