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:
|
Pull forward slowly, check for traffic and pedestrians, and proceed when clear.
|
|
|
Sound your horn before proceeding.
|
|
|
Check for traffic on the right, then proceed.

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.
