- What constitutues "entering" and intersection? Crossing the stop bar/near line of the crosswalk, or actually in the path of cross traffic?
- What consitutes "The other side"? Level with the stop bar? Or out of the path of cross traffic?
Look at this image:

I know I cannot stop in the red shaded areas, and that the green shaded ares are OK. But what about the yellow shaded areas?
I tried waiting behind the stop bar for my exit to clear but folks just succesively drove around me until I pulled forward intot he yellow shaded area on my side. I guess I need to be more aggressive - but that seems like the wrong answer...?
