Even when they have right of way, no driver may enter a junction or a pedestrian crossing if the traffic situation is such that they are likely to be stopped in a way that prevents or obstructs cross traffic. Any driver who is stopped in a junction controlled by traffic lights, and whose position obstructs traffic, must leave it without waiting for traffic to be allowed in the direction they intend to take, provided that in doing so they do not hinder other road users moving in the permitted direction.
