Question 1534
You have come to a stop in an intersection controlled by traffic lights and are blocking traffic. What should you do?
- Back up to clear the intersection.
- Wait for the traffic light to turn green.
- Leave the intersection as soon as it is safe to do so, without waiting for the traffic light to turn green.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: Leave the intersection as soon as it is safe to do so, without waiting for the traffic light to turn green.
If the vehicle is blocking a signal-controlled intersection, it must clear it without waiting for a green light. It should only move forward if this can be done without obstructing traffic traveling in an authorized direction.
