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.
