Stop just before you enter the intersection.
if there is no line or crosswalk your first stop is where you can safely see oncoming traffic
I would say a stop line because if theres a stop sign most likely there is a stop line.... and in some places like my nabior hood people steal stop signs so watch for the line....
the line is a quick disconnect. Take a pair of pliers and GENTLY squeeze the white tabs going into the rubber part of the line. As you are squeezing, pull on the rubber piece of the line and it should come right off. Same thing for the transmission end of the line.
Circular Red or Red Arrow21453. (a) A driver facing a steady circular red signal alone shall stop at a marked limit line, but if none, before entering the crosswalk on the near side of the intersection or, if none, then before entering the intersection, and shall remain stopped until an indication to proceed is shown, except as provided in subdivision (b).(b) Except when a sign is in place prohibiting a turn, a driver, after stopping as required by subdivision (a), facing a steady circular red signal, may turn right, or turn left from a one-way street onto a one-way street. A driver making that turn shall yield the right-of-way to pedestrians lawfully within an adjacent crosswalk and to any vehicle that has approached or is approaching so closely as to constitute an immediate hazard to the driver, and shall continue to yield the right-of-way to that vehicle until the driver can proceed with reasonable safety.(c) A driver facing a steady red arrow signal shall not enter the intersection to make the movement indicated by the arrow and, unless entering the intersection to make a movement permitted by another signal, shall stop at a clearly marked limit line, but if none, before entering the crosswalk on the near side of the intersection, or if none, then before entering the intersection, and shall remain stopped until an indication permitting movement is shown.(d) Unless otherwise directed by a pedestrian control signal as provided in Section 21456, a pedestrian facing a steady circular red or red arrow signal shall not enter the roadway.Amended Sec. 1, Ch. 14, Stats. 2001. Effective January 1, 2002.
I do not understand your question. If you are not behind another vehicle, under what conditions would you want to pass? I have passed many vehicles when I have been driving on a two lane highway. First: You should not cross a solid line unless there is a dashed line on your side of the solid line. Second: There should not be another car coming in your direction. Third: Your vision of the road ahead should be clear so that it is safe to pass. Fourth: The other car should be going slow enough so that you have a reason to pass.
If you are the first vehicle approaching an intersection with a red light or stop sign, stop behind the stop line if it is marked on the pavement. If there is no stop line, stop at the crosswalk, marked or not. If there is no crosswalk, stop at the edge of the sidewalk. If there is no sidewalk, stop at the edge of the intersection.
In NY the code is : When approaching an intersection controlled by a stop sign. The driver shall stop at a clearly marked stop line; or if none at the near line of a clearly marked crosswalk; or if none at the point nearest the intersection where the driver can seeYou do not need to stop even with the stop sign and then move up to where you can see if there is traffic on the other roadway
At the corner
true it is.
IN the crosswalk. They're not outside of the protected space until they cross the outer edge of the marked line and step onto the unmarked pavement.
if there is no line or crosswalk your first stop is where you can safely see oncoming traffic
true it is.
Go slow when approaching
please let me know the answer to this , the crosswalk on wantagh ave for island trees school always has a car blocking the crosswalk right up to the line
Proceed with caution.
Approach slowly, so as not to run over the mooring line or buoy
