I’ve seen them called “Stop Lines”, “Balk Line”, etc. The thick line painted on the road at a Stop Sign.
You’re supposed to stop before the line, but a lot of the time there’s a bush or other obstruction so you can’t see any crossing traffic. You have to creep forward until you can see anything.
Is there a reason for this? Is it done on purpose? It makes sense if there’s a crosswalk or something, but I see it a lot where there shouldn’t be any pedestrian activity.
Oh you mean a vertical angle? Like you can’t see the traffic because it’s occluded by the ground between on-ramp and travel lane?
Yes, that’s one issue. The other is a merging lane entering a HWY is not parallel to the HWY Making rear view mirrors look at the road behind and not at the HWY where one’s merging
