Stop bar
Also known as: stop line, limit line
A wide solid white line painted across a lane at an intersection, marking where a driver must stop for a red signal or stop sign. When no stop bar is present, the driver stops before the crosswalk, or before entering the intersection if there is no crosswalk.
