How many feet must you stop before a crosswalk?

15 feet
20 feet
10 feet
5 feet

The correct answer is: 10 feet

You must stop your vehicle at least 10 feet before a crosswalk. While this may seem like a short distance, it allows drivers to have a clear view of any pedestrians or oncoming traffic, and provides enough space for turning vehicles to safely make the turn. Option A, 15 feet, is too far away and may not give enough time to react to any potential hazards. Option B, 20 feet, is also incorrect as it is too far and may block cross traffic. Option D, 5 feet, is too close and could potentially block the crosswalk, making it dangerous for pedestrians. Remember to always pay attention to crosswalks and stop accordingly to ensure the safety of all individuals on the road.
