If you intend to turn right at an intersection and see a red traffic light situated on the opposite side (beyond the junction), how must you act?

Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

The correct answer is to stop before entering the intersection. According to traffic regulations, a traffic light situated on the far side of an intersection regulates entry into it for all vehicles approaching from the affected lanes. Even if your intention is to turn right before physically reaching the traffic light, the red light prohibits you from crossing the stop line (or the edge of the carriageway) to avoid blocking the junction or cutting across the path of vehicles moving on the cross street with a green light.
