Does this crosswise dashed line indicate the place for conditional stopping of the vehicle?

Correct answer: YES

🔍 Situation analysis: You are approaching an intersection. There is a transverse dashed line on the road in front of you that runs across your lane. This is a horizontal sign marking the place where you must stop if you are required to yield the right of way.

📖 Explanation of the principle: The dashed line (P-13) marks the place where the driver is required to stop the vehicle to fulfill the obligation to yield. This is a "conditional stop" line – you only stop if the traffic situation requires you to yield to another vehicle or road user. If the road is clear and there is no need to yield, you may pass over this line without stopping.

💡 Tip: Always pay attention to road markings before an intersection. If you see a dashed line, prepare to observe the crossroad; if you see a solid line (sign P-12), remember that the duty to stop is absolute, regardless of whether you see another vehicle or not.
