Question 7308

What must a driver who has become stopped in an intersection controlled by traffic lights and is obstructing traffic do?

  1. Because of their situation, they will have the right-of-way.
  2. Exit the intersection as soon as possible without impeding the movement of other road users.
  3. They will honk the horn to warn other drivers that they must yield to them.
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: Exit the intersection as soon as possible without impeding the movement of other road users.

If you end up stopped inside an intersection with traffic lights and are blocking traffic, leave as soon as possible, without waiting for your light to let you proceed and without impeding those who have permission to go. Being inside does not give you the right-of-way, and honking does not require anyone to yield to you.
