Where are you required to stop if you come to an intersection with no traffic light, stop line, crosswalk, or sidewalk?

When approaching an intersection without traffic lights, stop lines, crosswalks, or sidewalks, the correct action is to stop just before the edge of the intersection. This practice is essential for ensuring safety and visibility. Stopping at this point allows the driver to clearly assess oncoming traffic and any pedestrians who may be crossing, facilitating a safe and informed decision about when to proceed.

Stopping at the center of the intersection is not appropriate, as it can obstruct traffic flow and create hazards. Visibility issues may arise if one stops just before any street signs, since it could still lead to obstructing the intersection without ensuring a clear view of other vehicles or pedestrians. Stopping at any visible line could also be misleading, as not all lines indicate where a vehicle should stop when there is no designated stopping point.

The principle behind stopping before the edge of the intersection provides a clear perspective on the intersection without impeding the movement of other vehicles or making the area feel congested and unsafe. This approach follows the guidelines for managing intersections safely and effectively.
