Visual explanation · Traffic lights
An old green is not permission now
Question recap: An exit space opens after you wait at green before a blocked junction.
Correct answer
Check the current light and space to clear through.
Why this is correct
A moving queue can open a space while your own signal changes. The two conditions need to be true together.
Check the signal for your movement and whether the available space actually fits your car beyond the junction. Move only when both allow it.
