DRIVING STRAIGHT AHEAD THROUGH AN INTERSECTION ON A MINOR ROAD

Explication

 

At the “Stop” sign or line stop completely as soon as the line has disappeared under the hood (i.e. within 1 meter), and wait for 3 seconds even if there is no one.

 

You must stop even if there is no traffic on the crossing road.

Note the unique octagon shape of the “Stop” sign.

Road marking is a solid white line across the half of the road.

 

Since the “Stop” line crosses just half of the road, for driving straight ahead approach it with the right side of your car along the centre of the road, and the right corner of the hood at the end of the line.

 

How? - see CAR CONTROLS section – Pedals - Foot Brake pedal & braking technique.

 

Where there is no stop line or crosswalk, you should stop at the road junction, i.e. before entering the travelled portion of the through road.

 

Remember to ease the pressure off the brake pedal just before the vehicle comes to rest to avoid a jerk, otherwise you risk to fail the driving test because testing officer considers jerks as insufficient control of the car.

 

3 seconds of stay at the “Stop” line is what the testing officer expects to see, and about the time needed for thorough check before crossing the road (definite waiting time is not provisioned in ARR).
