What do you do if an intersection is blocked and you cannot proceed?

When faced with a blocked intersection, the best course of action is to refrain from entering until there is a clear path for you to safely navigate through. This approach ensures that you do not become part of the traffic congestion, which can create further hazards for yourself and other drivers. By waiting until you can fully clear the intersection, you contribute to smoother traffic flow and reduce the risk of accidents or gridlock.

Entering the intersection while waiting for a clear path can obstruct cross traffic, leading to confusion and potential collisions. Additionally, stopping in an intersection as the light changes could leave you stuck in a hazardous position, and honking typically does not resolve the issue and may even escalate tensions among drivers. Prioritizing safety and the free movement of all vehicles at the intersection is vital in these situations.
