what is the purpose for that white painted bar across the street at stop signs and lights.?

Question

why do you think people pull past the white stop bar when they stop at a red light or stop sign.

Answer 1

That white line is also the "crosswalk" for pedestrians. thats why you're not supposed to cross them, that's where people walk. but in country areas where there aren't any people crossing, it's just a safety line to keep the intersection clear.

Some people cross the line because they feel that it's just way, too far back. Sometimes they need to see what's coming so they can turn, etc.

The intersection is supposed to be clear of any cars pulled up into it.

Answer 2

The white bar represents the safest stopping point at an intersection. It is safest for the oncoming traffic, so people driving with a green light, or no stop sign can get the best and safest view and enough area to make turns, and such. There placement is designed not for the person who is required to make the stop, but for those who have the right of way. You are only supposed to proceed beyond the line after coming to a complete stop. People continue beyond the line because they are idiots and don't follow the rules

Answer 3

That is the limit line, where you stop. After making a full stop, it's perfectly acceptable to pull forward if it is safe to do so. Sometimes at a stop sign you have to pull forward to see oncoming traffic. Likewise if you are turning right on a red, the same thing applies.

Answer 4

You can be harassed by a cop for DUI testing by stopping after that line. Something to think about if you're in such a big hurry that you think a couple extra feet is going to get you there any faster.

Answer 5

i will't have self belief it truly is taking place. Why ought to historic past get replaced to help white people after we've committed atrocities. the reality is the reality. And for the people calling you ignorant that's glaring that they are the ignorant ones. call calling does not confirm themes. And people that celebrate cinco de mayo that's their decision to celebrate we are loose american, are we not? And why ought to you argue that we shouldn't practice Mexico's historic past in u . s ., in case you hadn't observe Mexico is nice there, they tie to our own historic past. And why ought to American little ones not be loose to study about the historic past of not absolutely u . s ., yet of Mexico, and Canada and each and every of the countries contained in the international. information is skill. And once you close up out information the absolutely position to move is down.

Answer 6

You mean the "Limit Line" This is the line that you are supposed to stop in front of. People have no patience and think the few feet they go over is going to get them going faster...Losers...
