If you encounter a 'Yield' sign at an intersection where visibility is practically nil due to buildings or obstacles, where is the correct place to stop if necessary?

Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

The correct answer is to seek the point of visibility. Even if there is a transverse yield marking (broken line), if visibility is nil upon reaching it, stopping there does not fulfill the safety function. You must advance with extreme caution to the point where you can see the crossroad without invading the path of vehicles traveling on it (without causing danger). Detailed explanation: Stop line: This is the initial reference, but safety prevails. If you can't see, you can't yield correctly. Point of visibility: This is the key spot in blind intersections. It is preferable to slightly cross the line (without entering abruptly) until you can see, rather than staying stopped behind a wall. Yield vs. Stop: At a Yield sign, we only stop if vehicles are approaching or if the lack of visibility forces us to stop to make sure (as in this case).
