At a T-intersection you were turning left from the side road onto the main road on a left-turn signal, and the light turned yellow after you had entered the intersection. Which TWO are correct? Select TWO
- Your car (blue) has turned left out of the side road and is inside the intersection
- The signal ahead has turned yellow
- Car A on the main road to the left is stopped at the stop line
- A pedestrian is standing on the sidewalk beside the crosswalk on the main road to the left
What a yellow light means depends on whether your vehicle is still before the stop line or has already entered the intersection (Annex 2 of the Enforcement Rule). Consider that stopping or backing up inside the intersection blocks vehicles about to move off, and think about pedestrians you meet while turning left (Article 27(2) of the Road Traffic Act).
Answer: ②, ③
Explanation
If any part of your vehicle has already entered the intersection when the light turns yellow, you must proceed promptly out of it (Enforcement Rule Appendix 2). Stopping or reversing inside the intersection blocks traffic from other directions, such as car A about to move off. When turning left at a signal-controlled intersection you must not obstruct pedestrians crossing on their signal (Road Traffic Act Article 27(2)), so watch the pedestrian on the sidewalk as you leave.
