You stopped in front of a pedestrian crossing. Are you also obliged to stop in front of the line immediately beyond the crossing?

Description

§ 21 para. 1 pt. 1 and § 89 para. 1 of the Regulation on road signs and signals (Journal of Laws No. 170, item 1393, as amended)

Explanation

Correct answer: Yes

The B-20 'stop' sign imposes an absolute duty on the driver to stop the vehicle before entering the junction. The place where you must stop is indicated by the P-12 'stop line' road marking. Since in this situation the line is located after the pedestrian crossing, stopping to give way to a pedestrian does not absolve you of the obligation to stop again at this line.

← Previous question

Does the prohibition expressed by this sign apply only to the side of the road on which the sign is located?
