If it is foreseeable that your vehicle will be stopped blocking a pedestrian crossing, what behavior should you adopt?

Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

Traffic regulations state that, even with a green light or right of way, no driver should enter an intersection or pedestrian crossing if traffic conditions suggest they might get stuck, thereby blocking cross traffic or pedestrians. Therefore, the correct action is to wait and stop before the pedestrian crossing (without encroaching on it) until there is enough space on the other side to cross completely without getting blocked.
