At a junction with a traffic light in Gulpen, the light changes from green to amber to red while a long row of vehicles with a blue flag at the front and a green flag at the back is still crossing the junction. What is correct?
- It doesn't matter whether it's a colonne or procession, both must now stop where they are
- This must be a funeral procession, since it stops mid-junction at red
- ✓ This is a military colonne: it was allowed to proceed on green and may continue now, mid-junction
Correct answer: This is a military colonne: it was allowed to proceed on green and may continue now, mid-junction
Explanation
False — A military colonne that entered on green may complete crossing the junction; a procession would already have stopped before the light turned red
Why learners get this wrong
- Wrong. A military colonne that entered on green may complete crossing the junction; a procession would already have stopped before the light turned red
- Wrong. A funeral procession must stop before the light turns red, not remain stopped mid-junction — the scenario fits a colonne that had already entered on green
