Explanation
When approaching an intersection, slow down and scan for traffic signals or signs to guide your actions. If there is a red light or stop sign, come to a complete stop. If the light is green or yellow, proceed cautiously and do not speed up, as it may turn red before you cross. If you see a yield sign, slow down and be prepared to stop if other vehicles are already in the intersection.
