What must you do if an intersection is obstructed by a stopped vehicle?

In situations where an intersection is obstructed by a stopped vehicle, the most responsible action is to wait until the vehicle moves. This approach prioritizes safety and ensures that you do not engage in unsafe driving practices such as maneuvering around the stopped vehicle without proper visibility or consideration for oncoming traffic or pedestrians.

Driving around a stopped vehicle can lead to dangerous collisions or altercations, especially if the vehicle suddenly moves or if there are other vehicles or pedestrians in the vicinity. Furthermore, signaling and proceeding when it may not be safe can create confusion and potentially lead to accidents. Using your horn to alert the driver, while intended as a warning, may not serve the purpose of clearing the intersection safely and can also escalate potential conflicts.

Therefore, remaining patient and waiting for the obstruction to clear is the prudent course of action, promoting safety for all road users.
