Advanced Stop Lines at Traffic Signals

Placing a vehicle stop or yield line back from the crosswalk has benefits at both signalized intersections and midblock crossings.

At signalized intersections, placing an advance stop/yield line 4 feet from the crosswalk allows pedestrians and drivers to have a clearer view of each other and more time in which to assess each other's intentions.

Estimated Cost

A STOP HERE ON RED (R10-6) sign can be used to supplement the recessed stop line.
