During the approach phase to an intersection, what must the driver determine well in advance?

Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

Negotiating an intersection involves three phases: approach, entry position, and crossing. During the approach phase, it is vital to determine the direction to take (straight or turn) in order to select the appropriate lane and the correct position on the roadway. This allows for traffic observation, timely signaling of the maneuver, and speed adaptation. The other options are incorrect because: Entering an intersection at over 80 km/h generally does not allow for safely stopping the vehicle if an unforeseen event occurs or priority changes. Crossing without turning on 'any lights' is incorrect if a turn is being made (requires turn signals) or if visibility conditions require headlights.
