In the UK there is no set distance. The rule is that all vehicles should completely behind the stop line and proceed when it is safe to do so.
Yes, you do.
No
Well you would simply stop before the sign, meaning that there is an imaginary stop-line that extends from any stop sign, and you must stop before you cross that line.
no buddy its 40 feet before the the the sign
yes. your address will never excuse you from traffic laws. If you park at the corner you must enter roadway then stop at or before stop sign no matter where you live
You come to a complete stop at the limit line or before entering the crosswalk/intersection of that specific red stop sign.
after
As a sign of respect for Jesus death on Friday. They ring again on Easter Vigil in joy of the resurrection
In all states it is law to stop at all posted stop sign regardless of the condissions
Don't sign up for it or do not go on it again
Yes, stops signs that have the white border are indeed optional. They are set as more of a yield sign when heavy traffic is present. Other than that those are just there to slow down rather than to make complete stop.
At the white line or the nearest line of the crosswalk. If there is no line, then at an imaginary stop-line extending out from the stop sign. You may ALSO need to stop at a point further ahead, where you can safely determine if it is safe to proceed. You obviously have to stop behind anyone ELSE who has stopped for the stop sign, then stop again when you reach the stop-line yourself.
