..... 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.
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.
A driver must not stop in an intersection or on a road within 20 m of the nearest point of an intersecting road at an intersection with traffic lights. A driver must not stop in an intersection or on a road within 10 m from the nearest point of an intersecting road at an intersection without traffic lights.
After coming to a full stop at a red traffic light, a driver may proceed to turn right, provided there is no sign prohibiting it and the intersection is clear of pedestrians and oncoming traffic. In some jurisdictions, a left turn onto a one-way street may also be permitted if the driver has come to a full stop and ensured the way is clear. It's crucial to always yield to pedestrians and other vehicles with the right of way.
- 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 making a left turn in an intersection, the driver must yield to oncoming traffic.
When a driver approaches an intersection and sees the traffic light turn from green to yellow, they should prepare to stop if it is safe to do so. If they are too close to the intersection to stop safely, they should proceed through the intersection with caution. It’s important to remain aware of surrounding traffic and pedestrians. Always yield to any vehicles or individuals already in the intersection.
When approaching an intersection with a flashing yellow light, a driver must proceed with caution and be prepared to yield to oncoming traffic or pedestrians.
When approaching a yellow arrow traffic light, a driver should prepare to stop if it is safe to do so, or proceed with caution if they are already in the intersection.
When approaching a congested intersection with a green light, the driver should not enter the intersection if there is no clear path to proceed. Instead, they should wait until the traffic ahead has cleared to avoid blocking the intersection, which can lead to gridlock and impede the flow of traffic. Additionally, drivers should remain vigilant for pedestrians and other vehicles that may be navigating the area.
When approaching a yellow traffic signal, a driver should slow down and prepare to stop if it is safe to do so. If it is not safe to stop, the driver should proceed through the intersection with caution.
When making a left turn at an intersection, the driver must yield the right-of-way to oncoming traffic.
In general, the driver who arrives first at the intersection or the driver on the right has the right of way. It's important to follow traffic signals and signs to determine who has the right of way in specific situations.
