A limit line marks a crosswalk and the beginning of an intersection????????

Question

A limit line marks a crosswalk and the beginning of an intersection???????? is this true

Answer 1

A limit line is where the vehicle is to come to a stop during operation. It is not a mark to indicate a crosswalk or the beginning of an intersection.
So, it would seem to me that your statement is false.

Answer 2

at a intersection with a stop sign or traffic light there are limit lines indicated on the pavement weather there is a crosswalk
or not. the front of the car should not extend beyond the point of the limit line, it is there to permit traffic turning into the opposing lane and not striking stopped traffic

Answer 3

A limit line marks where the car or truck is supposed to stop until it is safe to continue (waiting for the light or a gap in traffic) . It may or may not be with a crosswalk; If you are driving you are not supposed to creep forward.
Good Luck.

Answer 4

some intersections have limit lines. It is a white line BEFORE the two crosswalk lines. That line is what you should stop behind- if there is one there! Cops can ticket you if you pull past it.

Answer 5

This is so the nose of your car doesn't block the crosswalk. I've never seen a cop ticket anyone for this, but it's rude to be over this line; especially if you're a pedestrian.

Answer 6

I asked myself the same question. I'm a highway engineer who has worked in New Zealand and the UK, and am very surprised with the standard of signage and delineation in Boston. And the people wonder why Boston is famous for bad drivers??

Answer 7

Yes that is true.

Answer 8

It is true.
