Why should low beam headlights be used when driving straight through an intersection at night?

[HavenLynn]

When passing through an intersection with traffic lights at night, low beam headlights should be used. If the intersection does not have traffic lights, the headlights should be alternately switched between high and low beams as you approach the intersection to alert vehicles and pedestrians in the perpendicular direction. Additionally, the vehicle speed should be reduced when nearing the intersection to prevent sudden situations and allow sufficient time to react. Extended information: Use of lights at night: 1. When driving on well-lit roads, low beam headlights should be used; following another vehicle also requires the use of low beam headlights to facilitate the vehicle ahead in observing the situation behind through the rearview mirror. When meeting an oncoming vehicle at a distance of 150 meters, the high beam headlights should also be switched to low beam. 2. When driving at night through slopes, arched bridges, pedestrian crossings, sharp curves, slopes, or when overtaking vehicles ahead, the headlights should be alternately switched between high and low beams to alert other vehicles that your vehicle is preparing to pass through the road.
