Study Notes

Right-of-Way Concepts

Right-of-way refers to the permission granted by another driver to proceed in a particular direction while driving.
Always prioritize prevention of accidents with pedestrians or vehicles, regardless of situation.

Law Enforcement Signals

Obey law enforcement officers' signals unconditionally, even if they conflict with traffic signals.

Pedestrian Right-of-Way

Drivers must yield to pedestrians in both marked and unmarked crosswalks at all times.
Pedestrians with a guide dog or white cane have absolute right-of-way.

Turning and Yielding Rules

Left-turning drivers must yield to oncoming vehicles traveling straight.
Vehicles entering a traffic circle or rotary must yield to those already in the circle.

Intersection Regulations

In intersections without signs, yield to vehicles coming from the right.
At four-way stops, the first vehicle to arrive goes first; if simultaneous, the vehicle on the right proceeds first.

Road Entry Protocols

Yield to vehicles on the main road when entering from a driveway, alley, or roadside.
Do not enter an intersection unless able to clear it without stopping.

Overtaking and Emergency Vehicle Rules

Yield to vehicles in the same direction when overtaking.
Always yield to emergency vehicles with sirens or flashing lights by pulling over to the right side of the road.

School Bus Protocol

Stop for a school bus with flashing red lights, whether on the same side or the other side of the road (unless separated by a median).

Move Over Law

When an emergency vehicle is stationary on the road, reduce speed and safely move one lane over.

Points System for Violations

Start with 10 points, which reduce with violations.
A point remains on the license for 24 months.
Points lost vary by offense: 1 point for minor speeding or traffic control violations, 2 points for ignoring an officer, and a 10-point automatic suspension for DUI or reckless driving.

Student Safety Protocols

Yield to students crossing streets or if directed by a crossing guard.

Intersection Types

Uncontrolled intersections lack traffic control devices; drivers must adhere to right-of-way rules.
Controlled intersections require compliance with traffic signs and signals in addition to right-of-way rules.
