Abstract: A set of edges $XsubseteqE(G)$ of a graph $G$ is an edge general position set if no three edges from $X$ lie on a common shortest path. The edge general position number ${mgp}_{me}(G)$ of $G$ is the cardinality of a largest edge general position set in $G$. Graphs $G$ with ${mgp}_{me}(G)=|E(G)|-1$ and with ${mgp}_{me}(G)=3$ are respectively characterized. Sharp upper and lower bounds on ${mgp}_{me}(G)$ are proved for block graphs $G$ and exact values are determined for several specific block graphs.
