Practice question

Where must you come to a complete stop when you approach a stop sign?

  1. Before the pedestrian crossing
  2. At the intersection itself
  3. Before the crosswalk
  4. Parallel to the stop line

Answer: C — Before the crosswalk

When approaching a stop sign, the correct place to come to a complete stop is before the crosswalk. This allows for visibility of any pedestrians crossing the street and ensures a safe stop before proceeding through the intersection. Coming to a stop at the intersection itself or parallel to the stop line may not provide clear visibility or adherence to traffic laws.
