Explanation
If you are approaching an intersection and the traffic signal shows a green light, you may generally proceed and enter the intersection. However, if there is a vehicle already inside the intersection making a turn and blocking your path, you must allow it to complete the maneuver before you enter. Remember that unless you are waiting to make a left turn, you should never stop inside an intersection, as this can block the flow of traffic.
