The light turned yellow just after you entered the intersection. Car A on the opposite side has its left turn signal on. Which TWO are correct? Select TWO
- Your car (blue) has just entered the intersection in lane 1, going straight
- The light has turned yellow
- Car A on the opposite side has its left turn signal on
On a yellow light the rule is to stop just before the stop line, but a different duty applies if any part of your vehicle has already entered the intersection (Table 2 of the Enforcement Rule of the Road Traffic Act). Also consider that an oncoming vehicle turning left may hurry when the signal changes.
Answer: ②, ④
Explanation
On a yellow light you must stop before the stop line, but if any part of your vehicle has already entered the intersection, you must promptly proceed out of it (Enforcement Rule, Annex 2). As signals change, an oncoming car may hurry its left turn, so watch car A and leave safely (Road Traffic Act Article 48(1)). Stopping or reversing inside the intersection blocks cross traffic and risks a rear-end collision.
