If you encounter a vertical STOP sign accompanied by a transverse stop line marking, where are you obliged to stop the vehicle?

Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

The correct answer is before the stop line, without crossing it. According to traffic regulations, the continuous transverse road marking indicates the exact spot where the stop required by the vertical STOP sign must be performed. It is incorrect to stop merely at the height of the vertical sign (as it may be placed earlier for visibility reasons) or to enter the intersection by crossing the line. Remember: if after stopping at the line you do not have sufficient visibility, you must move forward with caution and make a second stop ('double stop') where you can see, but the initial stop at the line is always mandatory.
