Intersections & Right-of-WayStandalone practice
Your light is green. Just past the intersection, traffic is stopped, and there is no room for your car on the far side. What should you do?
A approaches a green light. Cars beyond the junction occupy the receiving lane; no route or waiting point is selected.
Correct answer: Wait at the stop line until there is room for your car past the intersection
Why
A car that stops inside an intersection blocks cross traffic and can cause gridlock. The rule has exceptions: you may enter when an officer or a traffic-control agent directs you, to make room for an emergency vehicle, or to make a turn that lets you leave the intersection safely.
