Given the exact circumstances stated in the question - state laws may differ. Some say that you must stop at the location of the stop sign and then proceed with caution if no interfering traffic is observed. Some say that you may stop at the actual intersection, WITHOUT YOUR VEHICLE PROTRUDING into the intersecting street, and then proceed with caution if no interfering traffic is observed. You must be familiar with the laws of your particular state.

∙ 10y agoIn NY the code is : When approaching an intersection controlled by a stop sign. The driver shall stop at a clearly marked stop line; or if none at the near line of a clearly marked crosswalk; or if none at the point nearest the intersection where the driver can see
You do not need to stop even with the stop sign and then move up to where you can see if there is traffic on the other roadway

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.
