1. Stop line
A stop line is a transverse road marking that indicates the position where drivers must stop when required by a traffic sign, traffic signal or other traffic control. It is usually placed before an intersection, crosswalk, railway crossing or another location where traffic may need to stop.
When a stop is required, drivers should stop before the stop line and avoid allowing any part of the vehicle to obstruct the area beyond it. The appearance and exact legal meaning of stop lines can vary between countries.

Where must a driver in Ontario stop when a stop line is marked?
At a red light or Stop sign, make a complete stop at the painted stop line. If there is no marked line, follow the stopping-position rules for crosswalks and the edge of the junction.
