If there is a crosswalk at a stop sign corner, you must stop at:

• A. At the crosswalk
• B. Behind the crosswalk
• C. In the middle of the intersection
• D. The curb

Answer: (A)

When you approach a stop sign that has a crosswalk, you stop right at the crosswalk (or at the stop line just before it) so you can see pedestrians and yield to them before entering the street. Stopping at the crosswalk keeps you from blocking the crossing and gives you the best view of people who may be crossing. Stopping farther back or in the middle of the intersection would create a hazard, and stopping at the curb isn’t the correct stopping point for this situation. So you stop at the crosswalk.
