What should you do at an intersection if pedestrians and vehicles are blocking the pathway, even with a green light?

When you encounter an intersection where pedestrians and vehicles are blocking the pathway, even with a green light, the appropriate response is to wait until the pathway is clear. This action prioritizes safety for all road users and ensures that neither pedestrians nor vehicles are put at risk.

This approach reflects good driving behavior by demonstrating patience and awareness of your surroundings. A green light indicates that you have the right of way to proceed, but it does not absolve you from the responsibility of ensuring that it is safe to do so. Proceeding through a congested intersection can lead to accidents or dangerous situations, particularly for pedestrians who may be crossing the street.

In contrast, other options such as proceeding with caution, honking to alert others, or making a quick turn around require assumptions about the intentions and movements of others, which could lead to confusion or collisions. It is always best to prioritize safety by waiting until it is clear to move forward.
