Your traffic light turns red. Ahead of you, a white stop line is painted a few feet before a marked crosswalk. Where must you stop?
A approaches a steady red signal from well before a white stop line. A marked crosswalk spans the full street a short distance beyond the line.
Correct answer: Behind the stop line, even though the crosswalk is still a few feet ahead of it.
Why
The place to stop follows an order: a marked stop line first; if there is no stop line, before the crosswalk; if there is neither, before you enter the intersection, at a point where you can see the cross traffic. Stop lines keep the crosswalk clear and give turning trucks and buses more room. The manual gives the same order for a red light and for a stop sign.
