Even if the traffic light is green or you have priority, what should you do if you foresee that you will be stopped inside an intersection obstructing traffic?

Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

Traffic regulations are strict regarding blocking junctions: even if you have the right of way (priority sign or green light), it is forbidden to enter an intersection if traffic conditions suggest you might get immobilized inside it, hindering or obstructing cross-traffic. You must wait before the stop line until there is enough space on the other side to cross without obstacles.
