What do you have to watch out for, when crossing a priority road?

When crossing a priority road, it’s crucial to consider all factors that could affect the safety of your crossing.

1. The width of the priority road is important because wider roads may have more lanes or a higher volume of traffic, which can impact your ability to cross safely.

2. The speed and distance of cross traffic are vital as they help you assess how quickly vehicles are approaching. Understanding their speed allows you to judge your timing for crossing effectively.

3. Weather conditions can significantly affect visibility and road traction. Slippery roads or poor visibility can change how vehicles behave and require greater caution when crossing.

According to German traffic law, being aware of all these aspects ensures that you make informed and safe decisions at intersections, helping to prevent accidents. It's essential to evaluate each situation holistically to ensure your safety and the safety of others.
