What should a driver who is stopped at an intersection controlled by traffic lights and is obstructing the traffic flow do?

Correct answer

Leave as soon as possible without hindering the progress of other road users.

If we come to a stop at an intersection controlled by traffic lights and are obstructing the traffic flow, we must act quickly to resolve the situation. Even if we have priority, we must not enter an intersection if it is likely that we will be held up and block the traffic. If we are already in that situation, the first thing we must do is move as soon as possible to clear the intersection, making sure not to hinder the progress of other vehicles moving in the permitted direction. It is essential to keep traffic flowing smoothly and avoid situations that could cause traffic jams or accidents. We must pay attention to the traffic situation and anticipate whether we will be able to cross the intersection without becoming blocked.
