Explanation
Drivers must never block an intersection during peak traffic times, regardless of having a green signal. Traffic laws prohibit entering an intersection unless there is sufficient space to completely exit it before the light changes. Violating this "Don't Block the Box" rule obstruct cross-traffic when signals change and increas accident risks. Police routinely ticket drivers who stop in intersections, as this dangerous practice disrupts traffic flow and violates right-of-way principles.
