Study Notes
Right of Way Rules at Intersections
-
Rule 1: Drivers must yield to vehicles already in the intersection. Example: If traffic is in the intersection turning left while you have a green light, wait for them to complete their turn.
-
Rule 2: When opposing traffic arrives simultaneously, the vehicle turning left must yield to traffic going straight or turning right. You may enter the intersection to prepare for a left turn if the light is green, ensuring wheels are straight to avoid being pushed into oncoming traffic.
-
Rule 3: Yield to oncoming traffic when turning left into driveways, alleys, or parking lots, regardless of traffic control signs. Assess the distance of approaching vehicles and if uncertain, wait for them to pass.
-
Rule 4: At intersections without signs or signals, the driver on the left must yield to the driver on the right if both arrive simultaneously at stop signs.
-
Rule 5: Vehicles entering a road from non-road locations (driveways, parking lots) must stop and yield to roadway traffic and pedestrians. Example: When exiting a parking lot, stop for oncoming vehicles and pedestrians.
-
Rule 6: Drivers must yield to pedestrians in marked or unmarked crosswalks, even if traffic lights change. Wait for pedestrians to cross before proceeding, especially when turning.
-
Rule 7: Do not enter an intersection if traffic is backed up on the other side. Wait until the path is clear to avoid blocking traffic.
-
Rule 8: When entering a traffic circle, yield to vehicles already within the circle to ensure safe navigation and avoid collisions.
