If there is no crosswalk present at a stop sign, where should a driver stop?

When there is no crosswalk at a stop sign, the driver should stop at the edge of the intersection for better visibility. Stopping at this location allows the driver to see oncoming traffic and pedestrians more clearly while still maintaining compliance with the traffic stop requirement. It ensures that the driver can safely assess the traffic situation before proceeding into the intersection.

This method of stopping promotes safety, as it helps to prevent accidents that could occur if the driver were to stop too far back, thus limiting their visibility. Stopping at a stop line or after entering the intersection would not be appropriate, as these options could impair visibility or fail to comply with the regulatory requirement to stop. Randomly stopping would also be unsafe and could create confusion for other road users, which the rules aim to avoid. Prioritizing visibility ensures that the driver can make informed decisions about when it is safe to proceed.
