Explanation

If you reach a congested junction and expect that you could be stopped in a position that blocks it, you must not enter the junction until you are sure you can cross it completely. This prevents blockages that get in the way of other vehicles and pedestrians. It does not matter whether you have right of way, because going ahead in these conditions could cause congestion or accidents. Being a taxi or public transport does not allow you to go ahead either: all drivers must follow this rule to keep traffic flowing safely.
