In this situation, do you have to stop immediately in front of the stopping line and not in front of the sign?

Description

§ 21 para. 1 and 2, § 89 para. 1 of the Regulation on road signs and signals (Journal of Laws of 2002, No. 170, item 1393, as amended)
Explanation

Correct answer: Yes

In the situation shown, you are approaching an intersection preceded by a B-20 'STOP' sign, and a horizontal marking P-12 'absolute stop line - stop' is painted on the roadway. According to § 89 para. 1 of the Regulation on road signs and signals, the P-12 sign designates the place where the vehicle must stop. Therefore, you are obliged to stop at the designated place, which is directly before this line.
