At a junction in Schoonhoven you have a green light and priority over the crossing traffic. Right after the junction traffic is completely gridlocked, no room to drive through. What do you do?
- I drive on, because I have a green light and priority
- I drive on, the blocking prohibition only applies at a red light
- ✓ I wait before the junction until there is room to drive through again
Correct answer: I wait before the junction until there is room to drive through again
Explanation
The blocking prohibition is independent of priority: if the far side is at a standstill, you wait before it
Why learners get this wrong
- The blocking prohibition is independent of priority: if the far side is at a standstill, you wait before it
- The rule applies to everyone entering, even on green — if the far side is at a standstill, you wait
