Explanation
When approaching an intersection, always check if you have the right-of-way. If you do, proceed while slowing down and ensuring the road is clear. If you don’t have the right-of-way, slow down and be prepared to stop if there is traffic blocking your path. If there is a traffic control signal, follow the light. If the light is red, do not proceed, even if the intersection appears clear.
