What distance from the preceding vehicle should you maintain standing before an interection, waiting for the green signal?
aMinimum of 1 m.
bMaximum of 10 m, minimum of 1 m.
cA safe distance.
Why?
While waiting for a green light, you must maintain a safe gap behind the stationary vehicle ahead. The photo shows a car directly in front and a red traffic signal, so leave enough room to avoid contact with that car. The rules do not prescribe a general minimum of 1 metre or a range of 1 to 10 metres for this situation.
