At which type of intersection does the manual say a stop line or crosswalk may be painted?
-
A.
Only where pedestrians frequently cross the road
-
B.
A STOP sign, YIELD sign, or traffic light Correct
-
C.
Only intersections with a STOP sign present
-
D.
Any warning sign that gives a driver information
The answer is "A STOP sign, YIELD sign, or traffic light"
The manual says a stop line or crosswalk can appear at intersections controlled by a STOP sign, YIELD sign, or traffic light. Drivers who anchor 'stop line' to the STOP sign in the name assume that's the only signal that gets one, but the manual lists three.
The traps in the wrong answers
A. Only where pedestrians frequently cross the road
Traffic-control signals, not pedestrian volume, drive where these markings appear. This answer restricts the marking to pedestrian-heavy areas, missing that any controlled intersection may carry one.
C. Only intersections with a STOP sign present
YIELD signs and traffic lights also count as controlled intersections with these markings. This answer anchors the marking to the word 'stop' and assumes the sign of the same name is the only trigger.
D. Any warning sign that gives a driver information
Warning signs aren't the trigger for these markings. This answer assumes any roadside sign qualifies, missing that the manual names only three specific signals.
