Question juridique clé
Whether a stop sign is ineffective when the complementary road marking is missing after resurfacing.
Solution extraite
The stop sign remained legally effective even without the road marking; the driver still had to make a safety stop.
Motifs extraits
Under Art. 36(1) SSV, the stop sign itself is a mandatory sign requiring a stop and yielding priority. The stop line only indicates where to stop and merely supplements and clarifies the sign. Temporary invisibility or absence of the marking does not remove the duty to stop, including for reasons of resurfacing, snow, wear, or weather.
