Question 2290

If you end up stopped in an intersection controlled by traffic lights and are obstructing traffic, what must you do?

  1. Leave the intersection as soon as possible, when safe, without waiting for the traffic light to turn green.
  2. Back up to clear the intersection.
  3. Wait for the traffic light to turn green.
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: Leave the intersection as soon as possible, when safe, without waiting for the traffic light to turn green.

If you are stopped inside the intersection and obstructing traffic, you must clear it without waiting for a green light. You must only do so if you do not obstruct those who are permitted to proceed.
