If I come to a stop after the white line, will I be issued a citation?

If a vehicle crosses completely over the white stop line while facing a red signal, a violation has occurred and a citation may be issued. However, if the driver only partially crosses the stop line before coming to a stop, the City of Hagerstown will not issue a citation.
