New South Wales · Driver Knowledge Test (DKT) · Road rules

Where must you stop at a stop sign with a stop line?

The answer

  • Past the line so you can see traffic
  • One car length before the line
  • Wherever you can see best
  • As close as practical before the stop line Correct

Why that's the answer

Stop as close as practical before the stop line. If you then need to edge forward for visibility, you may — after stopping first.
