Moving through Intersections Scan for traffic and pedestrians that may enter your path as you move through the intersection, and yield if necessary. Try to anticipate light changes and determine your "point of no return," or the point where you decide to go through the light even if it is yellow. Generally, if you have crossed into the intersection, you will need to clear before crosstraffic can move. If you have not yet entered the intersection, be prepared to stop before entering if the light should turn yellow so that you do not risk running a red light. Any time you move through an intersection it is a good idea to proceed with your brake covered so you are prepared in case a sudden hazard appears.
