Stop lines are solid white lines painted across traffic lanes:
- In curves and on hills.
- Next to churches and schools.
- At intersections and pedestrian crosswalks. ✓
- On freeway on-ramps.
Answer: C. At intersections and pedestrian crosswalks.
Solid white stop lines are painted across traffic lanes at intersections and pedestrian crosswalks.
Why this is the answer
The handbook says white stop lines mark where you must stop for a stop sign or red light, and you must stop before any part of your vehicle crosses the line before the crosswalk. Marked crosswalks are also shown with solid white lines and are where pedestrians cross. That places the painted stop line at the crossing point drivers meet at intersections and crosswalks. It is not described as a marking for curves, hills, churches, schools, or freeway on-ramps.
Why the other answers are wrong
- A. In curves and on hills. — Curves and hills are not where the handbook places stop lines; it ties them to stop signs or red lights and the crosswalk.
- B. Next to churches and schools. — Churches and schools are not mentioned as locations for stop lines; the handbook instead describes them at stop signs or red lights and before crosswalks.
- D. On freeway on-ramps. — Freeway on-ramps are not described as locations for stop lines; the passage connects them to stopping for a stop sign or red light before a crosswalk.
Remember it
Picture the line just before the crosswalk: stop behind it, not on it.
