Even with the right of way, can a driver enter an intersection if they foresee they will get stopped inside it, obstructing cross traffic?

Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

The correct answer is no. This is a fundamental rule to prevent traffic gridlock. Traffic regulations state that even if you have a green light or a priority sign, you must not enter an intersection or pedestrian crossing if traffic conditions suggest that you will foreseeably get stopped in the middle, thereby blocking the path for vehicles on the crossing road or pedestrians.
