At a blind intersection with a stop line, what should you do?

• A. Roll through without stopping.
• B. Turn left immediately.
• C. Stop there first. Edge forward and stop again, just short of where the cross-traffic lane meets your lane.
• D. Stop after the cross-traffic lane.

Answer: (D)

When approaching a blind intersection, the important idea is to stop and position yourself so you can clearly see cross traffic before you enter. Stopping after the cross-traffic lane gives you a vantage point where the cross-traffic lane doesn’t block your view, so you can judge oncoming vehicles or pedestrians and proceed only when it’s safe. This helps prevent entering the intersection prematurely or forcing others to slow or stop suddenly. Rolling through, turning left right away, or stopping too close to the line can leave you with a limited view or cause you to stall in a spot where you can’t safely assess gaps. So stopping after the cross-traffic lane aligns with keeping a clear line of sight and waiting for a safe moment to proceed.
