You are stopped in an intersection controlled by traffic lights and you are obstructing traffic; what should you do?
Signage: General rules
Explanation
When you are stopped at an intersection regulated by traffic lights and your vehicle is obstructing traffic, it is important to **exit the intersection as soon as possible**. This is because remaining in the middle of the intersection can disrupt the flow of traffic and cause problems for other drivers.
- **You should not wait for the traffic light to turn green** if you are already in the middle of the intersection and blocking the way. The priority is to clear the intersection so as not to be an obstacle.
- It is essential to **exit the intersection safely**, ensuring that no vehicles are coming from the opposite direction before moving.
- The action of exiting the intersection should be done **without waiting** for the light to change, as the priority is not to obstruct traffic.
This rule helps to keep traffic flowing smoothly and safely for all road users.
