Correct answer
No, even if you have priority of way.
It is not permitted to enter an intersection if you are foreseeably going to come to a stop, obstructing crossing traffic, even if you have priority of way. Even if the traffic light is green or you have the right of way, you must make sure you can cross the intersection completely without blocking traffic crossing perpendicularly. If you enter the intersection and come to a stop, you could cause congestion and obstruct the flow of traffic, which is dangerous and prohibited. You must always wait until there is enough space on the other side of the intersection to cross without problems.
