You are approaching an intersection controlled by traffic lights and the light is green. However, traffic beyond the intersection is backed up, so if you enter now you may end up stopped inside the intersection and block other vehicles. What should you do?
💡 Hint
Even when the traffic light allows you to proceed, you must not enter an intersection if traffic ahead may leave you stopped inside it and blocking other vehicles (Article 25(5) of the Road Traffic Act). A green light means you may proceed; it does not exempt you from this duty.
Answer: ①
Explanation
Under Article 25(5) of the Road Traffic Act, even at an intersection with traffic lights you must not enter if, because of the traffic ahead, you may stop inside the intersection (the area past the stop line) and obstruct other vehicles. A green light allows you to proceed but does not override this duty. Wait before the stop line and go only when there is room to clear the intersection.
