You have reached the stop line to turn right when the light changes to yellow. Pedestrians are crossing the crosswalk of the road you will turn into. Which TWO statements are correct? Select TWO
- Your car (blue) is in lane 2 right at the stop line, about to turn right
- The light has just turned yellow
- Two pedestrians are crossing the crosswalk of the road you will turn into (one on the side of the lane you will enter)
On a yellow light the rule is to stop just before the stop line, but there is a separate provision for turning right (Annex 2 of the Enforcement Rule). Also note that, apart from the signal, the duty to make a temporary stop before pedestrians crossing a crosswalk (Article 27(1) of the Road Traffic Act) still applies.
Answer: ②, ⑤
Explanation
On a yellow light vehicles must stop before the stop line, but they may turn right, provided they do not obstruct crossing pedestrians (Enforcement Rule, Annex 2). Also, when pedestrians are using a crosswalk you must come to a temporary stop before it (Road Traffic Act Article 27(1)), so stop before the crosswalk of the road you enter and go through only after they have crossed. Hurrying because the light is yellow, or slipping through the empty part, is wrong.
