In this situation, stopping the vehicle to yield the right of way should occur directly before the mandatory stop line?

Description

Art. 5 para. 1 of the Act of 20 June 1997 - Road Traffic Act (Journal of Laws of 2012, item 1137 and 1448) and § 21 para. 1 and 2 in conjunction with § 89 para. 1 of the Regulation of the Ministers of Infrastructure and of Internal Affairs and Administration of 31 July 2002 on road signs and signals (Journal of Laws No. 170, item 1393, as amended)

Explanation

Correct answer: Yes

The B-20 'STOP' sign and the P-12 line mandate an absolute stop of the vehicle before the line. However, the video shows that from this location, the situation at the intersection cannot be assessed due to limited visibility. In such a case, after the mandatory stop before the line, you should slowly drive up to the edge of the carriageway and, if necessary, stop there a second time to effectively give way.
