You are approaching an intersection with no traffic lights and no one directing traffic. Buildings on both sides block your view of vehicles coming from the left and right. What is the correct way to drive?
💡 Hint
At an intersection without traffic control where you cannot see left and right or where traffic is heavy, you must make a temporary stop (Article 31(2)1 of the Road Traffic Act). Note that driving slowly and a temporary stop, which brings the wheels to a complete halt, are different duties.
Answer: ③
Explanation
Article 31(2)1 of the Road Traffic Act requires a temporary stop at an intersection without traffic control where you cannot see left and right or where traffic is heavy. A temporary stop means bringing the wheels to a complete stop, so merely slowing down is not enough. Forcing your way through with the horn or by accelerating risks colliding with a vehicle you cannot see.
