With what characteristic must a lateral movement at an intersection be carried out?
Overtaking
Explanation
To perform a **lateral movement at an intersection**, it is essential to do so **well in advance**. This is due to several reasons:
- **Safety**: Before changing direction, it is crucial to ensure that vehicles approaching from the opposite direction are far enough away and at a speed that allows the change to be made safely. If the vehicles are very close or approaching quickly, the change of direction should not be made.
- **Visibility and position**: When changing direction, especially to the left, it is important to position yourself correctly on the road. For example, on a two-way road, you should position yourself next to the white line separating the lanes. This correct positioning requires time and prior planning.
- **Avoid obstructions**: You should never enter an intersection if there is a possibility of getting stuck in the middle, which could interrupt traffic flow. This involves anticipating traffic flow and acting in advance to avoid blocking situations.
Performing the lateral movement well in advance allows for a proper assessment of the environment, correct positioning, and avoidance of dangerous or obstructive situations at the intersection.
