A qualifying funeral procession began crossing while its leader had a green light. Its vehicles display the required headlights and flashing warning lights. Your light turns green while the procession is still crossing your path. What should you do?

Correct answer: Let the qualifying procession finish crossing instead of driving through its path.

Why

When the leader entered before the signal changed from green to red, the qualifying funeral procession may continue through under the statutory conditions. Its vehicles must use the required headlights and flashing warning lights. Another driver may not enter across the procession’s path and must respect its right-of-way. This is not a rule that every vehicle associated with a funeral automatically overrides every traffic control.
