Correct answer
The distance to the stop sign at the next intersection.
S-840 indicates the distance to the compulsory-stop or STOP sign at the next intersection. The official example shows 150 m. It does not designate the exact stopping point where the panel itself stands or equal the general distance panel S-800. The image contains only the official BOE catalogue panel without its title or explanation.
