Is it permitted to cross this continuous transverse road marking without stopping beforehand?
Signage: Road markings
Explanation
Transversal continuous line: obligation to stop
- A **transversal continuous line**, painted across one or more lanes, is a **stop line**: it marks the exact place where you must **stop** when a sign orders it.
- You must not **cross** it when stopping is required by:
- **STOP sign** (mandatory stop) or **prohibition to pass without stopping**.
- **Pedestrian crossing** marked by road markings.
- **Red traffic light**.
- **Order from a traffic officer**.
- **Level crossing** or **movable bridge**.
- It is allowed to **cross it without stopping** when there is **no obligation** to stop at that moment (for example, **green traffic light** or absence of a stop order).
Key point: this line does not oblige to stop by itself; it only **indicates where to stop** when another sign or circumstance requires it.
