You reach an intersection controlled by a stop sign, and can’t get a good view of cross-street traffic when you stop behind the white top bar painted on the pavement. You should:

Sound your horn before proceeding.
Check for traffic on the right, then proceed.
Wait until the fastest vehicles have passed, then proceed.
Pull forward slowly, check for traffic and pedestrians, and proceed when clear.
Explanation

Always come to a stop just before the white top bar when you arrive at an intersection, and check in all directions for approaching vehicles or pedestrians before proceeding. If necessary, for a more complete view of the road, slowly and carefully pull forward without interfering with the traffic. If you see oncoming vehicles, immediately stop where you are without pulling out further.
