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
Stop your vehicle behind the first line you come to, that is the limit line. When you have stopped completely it is legal to go, providing it is safe. If more than one car arrives at the sign, the first one to stop has the right of way. If it is a four way stop, and you stop at the same time as another car, the car on the right goes first. Or just gas it. just kidding
Yes, technically it is. Once at a stop sign, one must STOP--then proceed through the intersection to the other side. Reversing could result in confusion or an accident if anyone is behind you as that is NOT expected and normally should not occur.
Not in the UK, failing to stop at a stop sign is a motoring offence, you can be fined and points added to your driving licence, but you will not get a criminal record.
Well you would simply stop before the sign, meaning that there is an imaginary stop-line that extends from any stop sign, and you must stop before you cross that line.
At the white line or the nearest line of the crosswalk. If there is no line, then at an imaginary stop-line extending out from the stop sign. You may ALSO need to stop at a point further ahead, where you can safely determine if it is safe to proceed. You obviously have to stop behind anyone ELSE who has stopped for the stop sign, then stop again when you reach the stop-line yourself.
you stop at the white line instead of the stop sign, the stop sign would be to far
Stop just before you enter the intersection.
To aproach a stop sign what should you do
You must stop before your car reaches the line marked on the road. If your front bumper is above the line when you stop then you technically did not stop and can be ticketed. On the other hand if you stop more then about a half a car length before the line, you are not considered to be at the traffic control sign yet.
you must stop behind the first white line painted on the ground next to the stop sign
how mant feet from the stop sign ahould you stop
The rule is to stop behind the stop sign. If there is a white line on the road, the vehicle should be completely behind it. Once you have come to a full stop, you may have to creep forward to see safely.
5 feet
You come to a complete stop at the limit line or before entering the crosswalk/intersection of that specific red stop sign.
Just before the first line you come to, or, the limit line. Too far back and you really didn't stop at the sign. There are sometimes three lines. One short one, the limit line, and two marked for the cross walk.
