yes.. you must stop behind the line provided in order for it to be a completely legal stop.
The answer depends somewhat on the state you are in and the law in that state. In California you could get a ticket for not stopping for a pedestrian in a crosswalk.
If you are the first vehicle approaching an intersection with a red light or stop sign, stop behind the stop line if it is marked on the pavement. If there is no stop line, stop at the crosswalk, marked or not. If there is no crosswalk, stop at the edge of the sidewalk. If there is no sidewalk, stop at the edge of the intersection.
If an insurance company finds out about the infraction then it most likely will.
if there is no line or crosswalk your first stop is where you can safely see oncoming traffic
May turn right on a red light after stopping at limit line; if no limit line must stop exterior crosswalk line; if no crosswalk line must stop at curb line. Once stopped, may proceed with the right turn if the vehicle doesn't interfere with traffic on the street you are turning right onto.
Pedestrians must use crosswalks where provided. If no crosswalk, they must stop at the corner and cross corner to corner across the roadway. The driving area is the roadway, whether dirt or paved, private or public.
No. You can still be ticketed for failure to stop.
Noun: stop, stopsVerb: stop, stops, stopping, stoppedAdjective: stopping, stopped, stoppable
The past progressive of "stop" is "was stopping" or "were stopping" depending on the subject.
You come to a complete stop at the limit line or before entering the crosswalk/intersection of that specific red stop sign.
Stop completely before entering the crosswalk or intersection. Then, proceed when you can do so safely. Basically, treat the intersection as if there are stop signs at each corner of the intersection.
The past progressive form of "stop" is "was stopping" or "were stopping." For example: "She was stopping by the store on her way home."
