To correctly perform the maneuver of passing through an intersection, what three main phases must we distinguish?

Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

The correct answer is 'Approach, entry position and crossing'. Every driver must know the safety structure for crossing an intersection to avoid accidents: Approach phase: This is the preliminary moment when we select the right lane, signal the maneuver, observe the traffic in the mirrors and gradually reduce speed. Entry position phase: This is the critical point and the exact place where we stop if necessary (at a stop line, a STOP sign, a traffic light or to yield) before entering the intersection. Crossing phase: This is the final action of crossing or turning at the intersection once we have made sure there is no danger and we have the right of way, and it must be carried out decisively and quickly, but without haste. The other options are incorrect because they use terms such as 'middle position' or 'traverse', which do not correspond to the technical road safety terminology used to describe the sequence of this maneuver.
