Question 182 in the bank

Where should you stop according to the following picture:

A crossroads; on the approaching lane a white transverse line before a zebra crossing, and on the right a pole with a red octagonal sign showing a white hand.
  1. Correct answer: Before and close to the stop line.
  2. You can stop anywhere, as long as you stop before entering the intersection.
  3. Before the signpost.
  4. After the pedestrian crossing, but before the intersection.

Why this is the answer

The correct answer in the official bank: Before and close to the stop line.

When there is a stop sign and a stop line on the road, you stop before the stop line and close to it. The line is the marked place to stop, and the pedestrian crossing after it stays clear for pedestrians. The position of the signpost does not determine where you stop.

Topic: Traffic signs. The bank marks it for these classes: Light truck (C1), Heavy truck (C), Bus (D), Motorcycle (A), Tractor (1), Private car (B).
