Stopviivat
Stopviivat is a Finnish term that translates to "stop lines" in English. In the context of traffic, stopviivat are horizontal markings painted on the road surface that indicate the precise location where a vehicle must stop. These markings are typically found at intersections, pedestrian crossings, railway crossings, and other areas where a complete stop is required for safety.
The primary purpose of a stopviivat is to ensure that drivers come to a complete halt before
Failing to stop at a stopviivat is a traffic violation that can result in fines and penalties.
