Where must you stop if an intersection has a stop sign and a crosswalk but no stop line?

When approaching an intersection with a stop sign and a crosswalk but no stop line, you are required to stop before the crosswalk. This ensures that you yield to any pedestrians who may be crossing at that point, as the crosswalk is designated for their safety. Stopping at the crosswalk allows you to maintain visibility and situational awareness, ensuring that you can proceed safely once it is your turn to continue.

Stopping at the stop sign alone would not fulfill the requirement if it places you in the crosswalk, which could obstruct pedestrians. Positioning yourself in the middle of the intersection is dangerous and discouraged, as it can lead to confusion and hinder the flow of traffic. Additionally, stopping after the crosswalk would mean you have missed the designated stopping point, potentially creating unsafe situations for those crossing and reducing your opportunity to safely assess oncoming traffic. Therefore, stopping before the crosswalk is essential for both compliance with traffic regulations and the safety of both drivers and pedestrians.
