Show answer and explanation

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

If you get stuck inside an intersection with traffic lights and are blocking traffic, you must leave without waiting for your light to let you proceed. Leave carefully without obstructing anyone who has permission to proceed.
