Your light has just turned green, but car A, which was turning left from the opposite side, has not yet cleared the intersection. Which TWO are correct? Select TWO
- Your car (blue) is at the stop line in lane 1 and wants to go straight
- The light has just turned green
- Car A, turning left from the opposite side, is still in the intersection
A vehicle that has already entered the intersection when the arrow turns yellow must quickly clear it, so vehicles may still be inside the intersection right after your light turns green (Table 2 of the Enforcement Rule of the Road Traffic Act). The moment right after the signal changes is the most dangerous.
Answer: ①, ④
Explanation
When an arrow turns yellow, a vehicle that has already partly entered the intersection must quickly proceed out of it (Enforcement Rule, Annex 2), so a car like A may still be there after your light changes. Even on green you must drive without endangering others (Road Traffic Act Article 48(1)), so wait until the intersection is clear and check before starting. Starting at once, honking, or blocking its path risks a crash.
