What does this rule or driving tip mean? Drivers may not block an intersection. A green traffic light gives you permission to drive, but it does not override this rule if traffic on the far side of the intersection is at a standstill.
How to apply this safely
Check the available space on the other side before the stop line.
Keep pedestrian crossings and cycle crossings clear.
Leave room for traffic from side streets and emergency services.
Driving lesson and exam tip
Look beyond the traffic light. Waiting before the intersection shows awareness and helps prevent you from getting stuck in the middle of traffic.
Remember: Only enter an intersection if you can clear it immediately.
