When traffic is heavy, queues of vehicles can build up quickly. If you find yourself in a traffic queue, it’s important you don’t block intersections, railway lines or pedestrian crossings.
You must not go into or attempt to cross the intersection, railway level crossing, pedestrian crossing or an area controlled by pedestrian traffic signals, unless there’s space for your vehicle on the other side.
In this illustration, vehicle A must not go into the intersection because there's no space on the other side of the intersection. Vehicles B and C can go into the intersection because there's enough space on the other side of the intersection.
Not blocking the intersection
The vehicle in this illustration is blocking the area controlled by pedestrian traffic signals.
Blocking the area controlled by pedestrian traffic signals
When turning right at traffic lights you can enter and stop in an intersection, as long as there are no other cars already waiting to turn right. When it’s safe you may complete the turn even if the light is no longer green by the time you get to turn.
