You are stopping for the STOP sign at this intersection. There is a crosswalk, but no white stop line is painted on the road. Where must your vehicle stop?

Correct answer: Before you reach the crosswalk.

Answer options

  1. AAt the spot where you imagine a stop line would be
  2. BA full 50 feet short of the intersection
  3. CBefore you reach the crosswalk Correct

Why

With no painted stop line, the crosswalk becomes your stopping point: stop before entering it so pedestrians have a clear path. Stopping 50 feet back or at a spot you have guessed is not what the rule requires.
