Question 648 in the bank

What are you required to do when approaching the following marking on the road?

Grey road surface with a thick white transverse line on the left, from which a double white line runs right and becomes a dashed white line. Meaning: Stop before the stop-line, when it is obligatory to stop.
  1. Correct answer: Stop before the stop-line, when it is obligatory to stop.
  2. You should always stop during lighting-up time.
  3. Always stop before the stop-line.
  4. Stop only when the line is marked before a level crossing.

Why this is the answer

The correct answer in the official bank: Stop before the stop-line, when it is obligatory to stop.

A stop-line marks the place where you must stop when there is an obligation to stop, for example at a stop sign, at a red light or before a level crossing. The line itself does not create an obligation to stop in every case. It only fixes where you stop when stopping is required. So you do not always have to stop before it, and it does not mark only a level crossing.

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).
