Study Notes
Intersections
- Yield to vehicles from the right at intersections without signs or traffic lights.
- At four-way stops, the first vehicle to arrive after a complete stop goes first. If multiple vehicles arrive at the same time, the vehicle on the right goes first.
- Yield to vehicles on the main road when entering from a driveway, alley, or roadside.
Passing
- Must yield to vehicles ahead when passing, even if they are slowing or stopping.
Pedestrians
- Yield to pedestrians crossing the road; this is crucial when entering or exiting driveways, alleys, or parking lots.
Stopping Before Sidewalks
- Stop before crossing a sidewalk when entering or crossing a highway from a driveway, alley, or parking lot.
- Driving on sidewalks is illegal except for crossing.
Guide Dogs and White Canes
- Stop at least ten feet away from pedestrians in the roadway using a guide dog or a white cane.
Left Turns and U-Turns
- Yield to oncoming vehicles and bicycles when making left turns or U-turns.
Stopped at an Intersection
- Check right, center, and left repeatedly before proceeding when stopped at an intersection.
Four-Way Stop Protocol
- The first driver to reach the four-way stop after a complete stop goes first.
Passing Bicycles
- Do not pass a bicycle within the same lane unless there is sufficient space to do so safely.
Pedestrians with Guide Dogs
- Stop no closer than 10 feet from pedestrians with guide dogs in the street until they have crossed.
Evaluating Before Passing
- Check visibility, traffic, and the road (curves, hills) ahead before passing a vehicle.
School Bus and Railroad Crossing
- Be prepared to stop behind a school bus when approaching a railroad crossing.
Engaged Intersections
- Yield to pedestrians or other road users already in the intersection.
Definition of an Intersection
- An intersection occurs where at least two roadways cross or merge, often increasing the risk of collisions.
Green to Yellow Light
- Safely stop before the intersection when a traffic light changes from green to yellow.
Left Turn Yielding
- Drivers turning left must yield to pedestrians and vehicles approaching from the opposite direction, including bicycles.
Safe Lane Changing
- Safely change lanes by checking mirrors and blind spots, activating turn signals, and re-checking after signaling.
Final Decision on Passing
- Make the final decision to abort or continue passing as you near the rear of the other vehicle.
When Another Vehicle is Passing
- Stay over to the right, maintain speed, and do not accelerate while another vehicle is passing.
Passing Motorcycles
- Leave at least 3 feet of distance between your vehicle and a motorcycle when passing.
Approaching Closely to the Vehicle Ahead
- Approaching too closely can block your view, hinder speed, and result in insufficient following distance.
