Does the "Stop" sign visible in the presented situation indicate the mandatory place to stop the vehicle before entering the intersection?

Description

Regulation of the Ministers of Infrastructure and Internal Affairs and Administration of July 31, 2002 on road signs and signals. (Journal of Laws 2002 No. 170 item 1393, as amended)

Explanation

Correct answer: No

The B-20 'STOP' sign visible in the video imposes an obligation to stop, but in itself does not specify the precise point where the vehicle should be brought to a standstill. According to the regulations, the place to stop is the P-12 'stop line' marked on the roadway, or if there is none – a place where the driver has sufficient visibility and can ensure that they do not obstruct traffic on the priority road.
