..... wait for the light to turn green to proceed -or- if turning right - come to a full stop and after checking for oncoming traffic on the cross-street and pedestrians, turn right with caution.

What happens if you have right of way at a four way intersection and you are hit by another car?
- A driver approaching an intersection must yield the right-of-way to traffic already in the intersection. (traffic in the intersection has the right of way) - If drivers are approaching an intersection from opposite directions, the driver turning left must yield to approaching traffic going straight or turning right. (traffic going straight or turning right has the right-of-way) - Two drivers at an intersection that arrived at the same time at a right angle. The driver on the left must yield the right-of way. ( the driver on the right has the right of way) -Never insist on the right-away
When a driver stops at an intersection because traffic is backed up, German law requires the driver to leave enough space for vehicles on the intersecting street to clear the intersection.?
This isn't really a question. Just a statement. It makes sense to not block the intersection when there's traffic. I hate when people do that.
Who is at fault when driver a makes a left in front of driver b at an intersection with no light or stop sign and driver b crashes into him driver a claims driver b was speeding?
Left turn (a) yields to oncoming traffic (b). Without a stop sign or traffic signal, driver b has the right of way.

What is an unprotected left turn?
It is a left turn where the turning driver must yield to oncoming traffic entering a cross-streets intersection because there is no left left turn signal facing that left-turning driver during which a red light stops oncoming traffic to protect the left turning vehicle. This holds in keep-to-the-right countries. For keep-to-left countries, there are, sometimes, protected right turns.
What does a traffic signal displaying a steady circular green light mean?
A traffic signal displaying a steady circular green light means that, at least according to the light, you have the right to proceed. BUT, that also means "only if it is safe to do so". For example, a driver coming South is in the intersection, going straight, when the light changes. Traffic stops him from getting out of the intersection. You are traveling west and want to turn South. But his Range Rover is in the intersection! You have the green light! What you do is stay put, even if your light changes to red before you can move into your turn, even if everyone behind you gets mad at you. You must not clog up the intersection, because drivers coming East may want to turn North.
What is the right sentence choice you waited for a break in traffic or you waited for a brake in traffic?
You waited for a break in traffic. When another driver cut in front of you, you applied your car brakes, and again waited for a break in traffic before going through the intersection.

Disadvantages of traffic signal control?
More AccidentsAccording to the Ohio State Department of Transportation, traffic light can "significantly increase" the number or rear-end collisions in cars stopping at the intersection. Rear-end collisions occur when one car stops and the vehicle behind him does not, colliding into the stopped car. The traffic signal works correctly for the car that actually stopped at the intersection. However, the second car either fails to recognize the stopped car at the intersection or fails to stop at an appropriate distance to avoid collision.DelayThe traffic lights ensure that vehicles from every direction get a chance to proceed through the intersection in an orderly fashion. Before the traffic light, however, there was one street (out of the two that make up the intersection) that dominated. After traffic lights are installed, the dominant street shares equal time with its cross street. This leads to congestion on one street during hours of heavy traffic, making traffic delays another disadvantage of traffic lights.Diverted CongestionTo avoid congestion, drivers will use alternative routes, usually residential streets. This is another disadvantage of traffic lights, according to the Ohio Department of Transportation. As drivers cut through the residential areas to avoid the congested stoplight, the congestion on those streets increase, especially in intersections that are regulated by a yield sign or two-way stop (stop signs on the inbound and outbound lanes of only one street in the intersection). The overload causes premature wear on the streets as well as an inconvenience for residents of the area.Civil DisobedienceFrustration with the traffic lights is already high during the hours of heavy congestion. A malfunctioning traffic light or one that tends to stick on red for a few seconds longer than usual only inflames the driver. The result is an increase in accidents from cars moving when the traffic light signals them to stop.
What action is required by the yield sign with regard to traffic laws in Texas?
A yield sign is used when a lane of traffic is entering another roadway but is not required to make a complete stop. It is most commonly used when a roadway is coming to an intersection with another roadway and there is a specific right turn lane which bypasses the actual intersection. Placed there will be a yield sign. The duty of the driver facing a yield sign is to yield the right of way to all traffic on the roadway in which they want to enter. It is illegal to enter that roadway unless it can be done safely.
What is the Yield traffic sign supposed to mean?
The Yield traffic sign is intended to represent to a driver who has the clear path to continue through an intersection first. It's intended to mean that a driver must yield to oncoming traffic from his or her right side. Yielding means allowing that incoming driver to go first. This is the concept known as right of way and the yield sign is supposed to mean that everyone can drive more safely within an orderly traffic system.
