A green signal with an obscured crossing
You are approaching a signal-controlled junction on an ordinary Korean urban road. Your lane signal changes to green, but the exit road is crowded and only a short space remains beyond the crossing. A van in the neighboring lane has stopped just before the crosswalk. You cannot see the pavement in front of it, and an older pedestrian is visible on the far half of the crossing. Your navigation app announces a turn into the exit road, while a driver behind sounds a horn. The surface is dry, but late afternoon glare makes movement near the van difficult to distinguish. There is no traffic officer directing a different movement. You have enough distance to wait before the stop line without an abrupt brake application.
1. Should you enter merely because the lane signal is green?
Read the worked answer
No. Wait before entering while the pedestrian and the obscured crossing remain a possible conflict and the exit lacks adequate space. The horn does not establish clearance.
2. What should be checked before the eventual turn?
Read the worked answer
Recheck the entire crosswalk, the hidden space beside the van, the permitted turn and the available exit space. Move only when the full path is safe and lawful.
