What action reflects negative control at an intersection?

Making an unnecessary stop at an intersection exemplifies negative control because it disrupts the flow of traffic and can lead to confusion among other drivers. This action demonstrates a lack of awareness and understanding of traffic laws and situations, as it creates an unexpected halt where one may not be required. Such behavior can contribute to traffic congestion and even increase the potential for accidents at the intersection. It reflects poor judgment in handling traffic controls and can be frustrating to other drivers who are following the rules of the road. In contrast, stopping appropriately at a stop sign, yielding to pedestrians, and using appropriate signals demonstrate positive control by adhering to traffic regulations and promoting safety for all road users.
