When you see a stop line, what should you do?

When you encounter a stop line, you should stop at the line rather than at the stop sign or traffic control signal. The stop line is specifically designed to indicate where you must come to a complete stop. This positioning is important for several reasons: it ensures that your vehicle is properly aligned for visibility and allows vehicles or pedestrians already in the intersection to move safely. Stopping at the line provides a clear boundary for your vehicle, helping to maintain order and safety at intersections.

By stopping at the line, you also give yourself the appropriate distance to observe traffic from all directions before proceeding. Failing to stop at the designated line could obstruct the view of cross traffic or pedestrians, leading to potential hazards. Therefore, always make sure to stop at the stop line to comply with traffic laws and promote safe driving practices.
