Question

Difficulty: MediumRegulatory Signs

On a roadway posted with a white rectangular regulatory sign reading 'DO NOT BLOCK INTERSECTION', a driver who enters the intersection on a green light and becomes stopped inside it due to traffic congestion has committed a traffic violation.

Answer: Answer

Answer

True. Drivers are legally obligated to obey regulatory signs prohibiting intersection blockage, meaning they must not enter an intersection unless traffic flow allows them to clear it entirely, even when facing a green signal.
The regulatory sign explicitly forbids stopping within the boundary of the intersection. Drivers must wait behind the limit line until traffic moves forward enough to accommodate their vehicle on the opposite side.

Step-by-Step Solution

1
Identify the legal authority and obligation of regulatory signs.
White rectangular signs with black lettering are regulatory signs that establish legally enforceable rules of the road.
Drivers must comply with all posted regulatory sign mandates at all times.
2
Evaluate the interaction between the traffic signal and the regulatory sign mandate.
A green light permits movement only when it is safe and legally clear to proceed.
Entering an intersection without enough space to cross completely creates gridlock and violates the posted regulatory prohibition.
