How far should you stop within a crosswalk at an intersection?

10 feet
20 feet
25 feet
15 feet

The correct answer is: 15 feet

Stopping within a crosswalk at an intersection is crucial for ensuring pedestrian safety. The correct distance to stop is typically 15 feet from the crosswalk. This distance allows for a clear view of pedestrians who may be crossing the street, which helps prevent accidents. It also ensures that your vehicle is not obstructing the path of pedestrians and offers them a safe space to navigate. This distance is based on traffic regulations designed to create a safe environment for both drivers and pedestrians, recognizing that stopping too close can increase the risk of collisions with pedestrians who may be difficult to see depending on the angle and height of your vehicle. By maintaining this distance, you contribute to a safer road environment and follow local traffic laws effectively.
