How to proceed straight through an intersection?

Pay attention to the in-car voice announcements. The straight-through intersection maneuver comes with a voice prompt: 'Proceed straight through intersection.' After the voice prompt, lightly tap the brake with your right foot to decelerate. Turn your head to look left and right to observe traffic conditions on both sides ahead, paying attention to oncoming vehicles and pedestrians to ensure safety. When approaching the crosswalk at the intersection, lightly tap the brake again with your right foot to decelerate. Then, turn your head first to the left and then to the right to observe traffic conditions on both sides ahead. Once you have passed the crosswalk on the opposite side of the intersection, the straight-through intersection maneuver is considered complete. Under safe conditions, lightly press the accelerator with your foot to appropriately increase speed.

When driving straight through intersections, I always slow down early and proceed cautiously - a lesson learned from a decade of driving experience. I observe traffic lights from far away, stopping immediately if they turn red, and even when green, I first check both sides for any vehicles or pedestrians darting out. Once, in a hurry, I nearly hit a red-light-running electric scooter, and since then I've doubled my vigilance: maintaining steady speed without sudden acceleration, scanning surroundings via mirrors, especially blind spots. Most intersection accidents occur during sudden braking or distractions, so I stay fully focused, never touching my phone. Safety comes first, far more important than punctuality. During rain or at night when it's riskier, I turn on headlights for better visibility, never cutting lanes, patiently waiting until pedestrians completely cross.

As a new driver who just got my license, going straight through intersections makes me a bit nervous, but my instructor taught me the basic steps. When approaching an intersection, first reduce speed, check if the traffic light is green, and confirm stop signs or signals before proceeding. If there are pedestrians crossing, come to a complete stop and yield—never rush. Last month when going straight through an intersection, I almost got hit by a right-turning car because I didn't carefully check my right blind spot, which gave me quite a scare. Since then, I've developed the habit of checking both side mirrors before moving, keeping both hands firmly on the wheel, and maintaining a steady speed. In complex traffic situations, don't rush—wait until it's safe to proceed while avoiding sudden turns or braking to prevent rear-end collisions. With more practice, confidence will grow.

The core of proceeding straight through an intersection is adhering to traffic rules, which I've deeply learned from driving lessons. Come to a complete stop at red lights, and only proceed after the green light turns on while ensuring no pedestrians or vehicles are interfering. Yield rules must be remembered - pedestrians always have right of way, no overtaking or stopping within intersections. Allow buffer time to decelerate when traffic lights change to prevent rear-end collisions. Road signs are crucial guides too - clearly identify whether it's a straight or turning lane. The law requires maintaining full attention throughout, keeping phones aside without distractions. After safely passing through, confirm there are no emergency situations behind before accelerating.
