You are stopped at a red light before a signalized crosswalk. The pedestrians have all finished crossing, but the vehicle signal is still red. Which TWO statements are correct? Select TWO
- Your car (blue) is stopped at the stop line in lane 2
- Vehicle signal is red
- The pedestrians have already reached the far sidewalk
On a red light, vehicles must stop just before the stop line, the crosswalk and the intersection (Table 2 of the Enforcement Rule; Article 5(1) of the Road Traffic Act). Whether pedestrians or other vehicles are present is not a condition of this duty, and also check where you are supposed to wait.
Answer: ④, ⑤
Explanation
When the vehicle signal is red, vehicles must stop just before the stop line, crosswalk or intersection (Enforcement Rule of the Road Traffic Act, Annex 2, red light). Drivers must obey the signals of traffic lights (Road Traffic Act Article 5(1)), so even if all pedestrians have crossed and no other cars are around, you must wait at the stop line until the light turns green. Creeping past the stop line up to the crosswalk is also wrong.
