When approaching a congested intersection with a green light, which action is recommended?

• A. Proceed through the intersection as long as it is green.
• B. Slow down and proceed only if other vehicles yield.
• C. Stop before the intersection until it is clear.
• D. Turn right immediately to avoid the congestion.

Answer: (C)

The important idea is that a green light doesn't guarantee you can rush through a crowded intersection. You must be able to clear the intersection safely; otherwise you risk getting stuck in the middle or blocking cross-traffic as lights change or as others move.

So, when the intersection ahead is congested, the recommended action is to stop before the intersection and wait until there is enough space to cross completely. This helps prevent gridlock and reduces the chance of a collision with vehicles or pedestrians entering or crossing the road.

Rushing through because it’s green isn’t safe, and waiting for others to yield isn’t reliable either. Turning right immediately isn’t appropriate if there isn’t clear space and a safe path to do so without causing conflicts.
