Correct answer
Wait until you can cross without obstruction.
If there is a risk of being stopped inside an intersection, the correct action is to wait until you can cross completely and without obstruction. This means the driver must not enter the intersection, even if the traffic light is green or they have right of way, unless there is enough clear space on the other side to pass without stopping. Stopping inside the intersection can cause congestion and block crossing traffic, creating risky and disorderly traffic situations.
