Where is the stop line located at an intersection?

At an intersection, the stop line is a solid white line positioned in front of the traffic light. Below are some key points to note regarding stop lines. Immediately stop if you accidentally cross the stop line: When electronic monitoring captures red-light violations at intersections, it typically takes three photos as evidence: before the vehicle crosses the line, after crossing the line, and upon entering the intersection. If a vehicle has just crossed the stop line during a red light but stops immediately, traffic authorities will not impose penalties. Avoid rushing past the stop line: If you inadvertently cross the line, do not take chances by accelerating, rushing past the line, or reversing significantly to avoid being caught by traffic cameras. Since video devices record moving images, they can document a complete violation. If the vehicle remains stationary after crossing the line, traffic authorities will not consider it a red-light violation.
