Question

I was at a 3 way intersection and stopped 5' past the sign,but roll throughs the police were giving warnings

Answer 1

You were lucky that you just got a warning because you did run the sign.......

Answer 2

You didn't stop. You were lucky to get off with a warning.

Once you're past the limit line or have entered the crosswalk you're in the intersection. At a Stop sign, you have to stop before you enter the intersection.

Answer 3

Definition of Stop in the Highway Traffic codes........

Stop - a complete cessation from vehicular movement.......

apparently you did not completely cessate your movement.......[grin]

You should stop long enough to say "I HAVE STOPPED", and then take your foot off the brake but still cover your brake, and creep forward.

You should stop so that the stop line/crosswalk line just disappears over the hood of your vehicle. That's a good rule of thumb.

Remember anything can happen at any time.............
