At an intersection with a stop sign, a crosswalk, but no stop line, where must you stop?

• A. Before the crosswalk
• B. At the stop sign
• C. On the crosswalk
• D. After the crosswalk

Answer: (A)

You must come to a complete stop before entering the crosswalk when you reach a stop sign. If there’s no stop line, the correct place to stop is before the crosswalk itself. This protects pedestrians who may be in the crosswalk and gives you a clear view of traffic so you can yield properly. After stopping, check for pedestrians and oncoming vehicles, then proceed only when it’s safe. Stopping after the crosswalk or on the crosswalk would block or endanger pedestrians, which is why stopping before the crosswalk is the right choice.
