You have come to a full stop at a stop sign. A car is approaching on the cross street but is still well down the road. Must you wait for it to pass before you go?

Correct answer: C. No — you must yield only to traffic in the intersection or so close that proceeding would be an immediate hazard, then you may go

No — the test is not an empty road. Section 136(1) requires you to stop at the line, crosswalk or intersection edge, and then to "yield the right of way to traffic in the intersection or approaching the intersection on another highway so closely that to proceed would constitute an immediate hazard and, having so yielded the right of way, may proceed." What you owe is to anything already in the intersection and to anything close enough that pulling out would create an immediate hazard. A vehicle far enough away that you can clear the intersection without affecting it is not one of those things. The judgement is yours and it has to be honest — if you would make the other driver brake or swerve, that is an immediate hazard and you wait.
