Question 6920

This parked vehicle is blocking your view. May you stop a little behind it instead of before the transverse stop line?

  1. No, and I can cross the intersection without stopping if there are no vehicles on the cross street.
  2. No, first I have to stop before the stop line.
  3. Yes, I can stop directly at a spot where I have visibility.
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: No, first I have to stop before the stop line.

At a STOP, you must stop before the stop line first, even if the passenger car parked on the right blocks your view. Then, if you cannot see the other street clearly, move forward slowly and stop again where you have a clear view, without endangering anyone. Replacing that first stop with one farther ahead, or crossing without stopping, would mean failing to obey the STOP.
