Does the word "STOP" on the roadway confirm the marking of the entry to the junction with a vertical "stop" sign?

Description

§ 89 para. 4 in relation to § 21 para. 1 and 2 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

Yes, the word "STOP" painted on the roadway is the P-16 horizontal marking, which according to regulations always appears together with the vertical B-20 "Stop" sign. Its purpose is to confirm and warn the driver of the absolute obligation to stop the vehicle before entering the priority road. Seeing this marking, the driver can be certain that a B-20 sign is placed at the entrance to the junction.
