Proceeding Safely
00:00:26
Only when the intersection is clear can you proceed. Sometimes, you may need to move forward slowly for a clearer view of the traffic.
Checking for Other Road Users

After stopping, drivers must look for pedestrians, cyclists, and other vehicles entering the intersection. These road users must be given the right-of-way.
Importance of a Complete Stop
