Is stopping the vehicle in this place, in order to give the right of way to other drivers, proper in this situation?

The B-20 'STOP' sign requires you to stop the vehicle at a designated place (at the P-12 stop line) or at a point where the driver has clear visibility of the crossroad. In the visible situation, the appropriate place to stop in order to yield to other vehicles is closer to the intersection, behind the pedestrian crossing. Stopping before the crossing is too early for this purpose and does not provide the required visibility.
