Explanation
If your view of a cross street is blocked when you approach an intersection, you should edge forward slowly until you can see. This will allow crossing drivers to see the front of your vehicle before you can see them, and give them a chance to slow down and warn you if needed. Do not proceed until you can do so safely.
