Is It Correct to Use Low Beam When Passing Through an Unsignalized Intersection at Night?
1 Answers
Using low beam when passing through an unsignalized intersection at night is incorrect. When crossing an intersection without traffic signals at night, you should alternate between high and low beams. Scenarios requiring low beam usage: Driving in areas without streetlights after dark, during dusk when light is dim, or at dawn when daylight first appears, all require the use of low beams. In conditions like heavy fog, snowfall, or heavy rain where visibility is obstructed, low beams should be used even during daytime. Some road sections may have lighting but insufficient brightness, in which case low beams should also be activated. Important notes: During nighttime driving, if the road is smooth with good visibility, you may drive slightly faster and use high beams. If the road is uneven or traffic conditions are complex, reduce your speed. When making turns at night, decelerate in advance and continuously switch your lights. As you approach the turn, switch to low beams, activate turn signals, and keep to the right side of the road.
