suitable preposition before "the corner"

I would like to know which preposition I should use when I stand at A point and tell where the man at B point is. I would like to say, "The man is standing ____ corner." I thought it might be "behind" but I am not really sure... Please help.

He is standing at the corner. In your diagram, it looks as if A is standing in the middle of the road, or between two houses, not at the corner of anything.
