At an intersection with no traffic lights or markings, where must you stop?

When approaching an intersection with no traffic lights or markings, you must stop before the edge of the intersection to ensure safe navigation and visibility. Stopping at this location allows you to yield to any other vehicles or pedestrians that may have the right of way, safeguarding everyone involved. It positions you to clearly assess the traffic around you, making it easier to decide when to proceed. This practice helps to avoid obstructing the flow of traffic or endangering others on the road.

Stopping in the center of the intersection can block cross traffic and create dangerous situations. Entering the intersection without stopping could result in collisions with other vehicles or pedestrians. Trying to stop as close to the crosswalk as possible might not give you a clear view of oncoming traffic and could confuse or endanger pedestrians trying to cross. Therefore, halting before the edge of the intersection is the safest and most legally appropriate action to take.
