Zorluk: OrtaJunctions and Intersections

You are approaching a traffic-light controlled junction that has an Advanced Stop Line (ASL) marked on the road surface for cyclists. The traffic lights change to red as you approach. Which TWO actions must you take?

  1. Stop before the first stop line if it is safe to do so, leaving the cycle reservoir clear.Cevap
  2. B
    Filter past waiting cyclists to occupy the cycle reservoir so you can accelerate away ahead of them.
  3. Allow sufficient time and space for cyclists in the marked area to move off when the green signal shows.Cevap
  4. D
    Move forward into the cycle box if an oncoming driver flashes their headlights to beckon you through.

Cevap

You must stop before the first stop line if safe to do so to keep the cycle box clear, and allow time and space for cyclists to move off when the green light shows.
According to Highway Code Rule 178, drivers must stop at the first white line when traffic signals show red or amber, preserving the marked reservoir area for cyclists. When the traffic signal turns green, drivers must remain patient and allow any cyclists in the reservoir sufficient space and time to safely move off before proceeding.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Identify the road markings and current traffic signal status on approach.
Recognise the Advanced Stop Line (ASL) cycle reservoir and the red signal.
Advanced Stop Lines create a dedicated safety zone to position vulnerable cyclists ahead of motor traffic at signal-controlled junctions.
2
Determine the correct stopping position before the junction.
Bring the vehicle to a halt behind the first white stop line.
Highway Code Rule 178 prohibits motor vehicles from crossing the first stop line when the lights are red or amber unless stopping safely is impossible.
3
Plan the move-off procedure when the signal changes to green.
Wait and provide ample clearance for cyclists inside the reservoir to move away.
Cyclists need adequate time and room to establish their road position and build momentum without being crowded or intimidated.
