Question 776 in the bank

What are the specific risks and problems in crossing intersections?

A view from the driver's seat, behind a blue car at an intersection. The traffic lights show red. A white car is on the left, a bus is in the background, and a light grey car is on the right.
  1. Correct answer: Many and various contact points between the different types of vehicle through the intersection.
  2. Crossing the intersections takes a long time; an upsetting fact for drivers.
  3. The fact that vehicles approach the intersection from different directions causes no problem. The problem is only with pedestrians.
  4. Specific risks and problems are present only in intersections with traffic lights.

Why this is the answer

The correct answer in the official bank: Many and various contact points between the different types of vehicle through the intersection.

Many movements meet at an intersection: vehicles going straight, turning right and turning left, and arriving from several directions. This creates many contact points where a collision may occur. The danger exists at every intersection, with or without traffic lights, and not only with pedestrians. So slow down, look in all directions and be careful to observe right of way.
