Even if you have the right of way, what must you do if you foresee that you might get stopped in the middle of an intersection, obstructing cross traffic?

Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

Traffic regulations are strict on this point to prevent gridlock: even with a green light or priority sign, you are prohibited from entering an intersection or pedestrian crossing if traffic conditions suggest you might get immobilized inside it. Doing so would impede or obstruct the flow of vehicles coming from the cross street. Therefore, you must wait before the intersection until there is enough space on the other side to cross it completely.
