Sgt. Jesse Grabow
Question: I have a new driver in the house. We were having some discussion on where a person needs to stop when coming to a stop sign and other situations. Can you please write about that? Thanks!
Answer: Congratulations on the new driver. Here is what a person needs to know when it comes to stopping your vehicle.
Stop Signs:
- Come to a complete stop at stop signs.
- If there is a marked stop line, stop before the line.
- If there is a pedestrian crosswalk, stop before entering the crosswalk.
- Yield the right-of-way to pedestrians, bicyclists, and traffic before proceeding.
Obstructed View:
- If your view of the intersection is obstructed, be prepared to stop again for traffic or pedestrians in your path.
