Rules of the road
The traffic lights ahead show green, but the road just beyond a yellow box junction is blocked. What must you do?
- Enter the box because the lights are green
- Drive into the box and wait for a gap
- Sound your horn to clear the way
- Wait before the box until your exit is clearCorrect
Why?
A green light does not give you the right to block a junction. Rule 174 of The Highway Code says you must not enter a yellow box junction until your exit road or lane is clear, even when the traffic lights are green.
