Explanation
Blocking an intersection during rush hour traffic is not permitted under any circumstances, even if your light is green. This is because blocking an intersection can lead to traffic congestion. It can also create safety hazards by obstructing emergency vehicles or causing gridlock. Therefore, it's important to wait until there is enough space on the other side of the intersection before proceeding, regardless of whether your traffic signal is green.
