What three phases can be distinguished at an intersection?
Right of way
Explanation
At an intersection, there are three important phases:
1. **Approach**: This is the moment when you are getting closer to the intersection. You must pay attention to traffic signals, such as traffic lights, which indicate whether you may proceed or must stop. For example, a steady red light prohibits you from proceeding, whereas a steady green light allows you to proceed and gives you the right of way.
2. **Entry position**: Here you decide whether you can enter the intersection. You must make sure there are no vehicles or pedestrians who have the right of way. If there is a green traffic light, you may proceed, but always with caution.
3. **Proceeding through**: This is the moment to cross the intersection. You must do so safely, making sure there are no obstacles and that you can complete the crossing without getting stuck in the middle.
These phases help you cross intersections safely and efficiently, always respecting traffic signals and the right of way of other vehicles and pedestrians.
