When do you have to yield at an intersection?
• Drivers entering a road from a driveway, alley, or roadside must yield to vehicles already on the main road. • At an intersection where there is no stop sign or traffic signal (with the exception of roundabouts), drivers must yield to vehicles coming from the right.
When do you have to yield on steep mountain roads?
Downhill-facing drivers must yield If two vehicles traveling in opposite directions meet on a steep, single-lane mountain road, the driver facing downhill must yield to the driver facing uphill. In this situation, you must reverse carefully until the uphill-facing driver has enough room to pass safely.
When do you yield the right of way to another vehicle?
When you yield the right of way to another vehicle, you are letting them go before you in the traffic situation. Few areas of traffic safety are more misunderstood than the ‘Yield to the Driver on the Right’ rule. This is the rule that controls most intersections when drivers arrive at an intersection simultaneously.
What are the rules of the road at an intersection?
CHAPTER 4 — RULES OF THE ROAD INTERSECTIONS The following right-of-way rules apply at intersections: • Drivers must yield where necessary to avoid striking pedestrians who are legally crossing the road. • Drivers crossing a sidewalk, entering or exiting a driveway, alley, or parking lot must yield to pedestrians.
Do you have to yield right of way at a four way intersection?
The right of way rules do not apply to a T-intersection the way they do to a four-way intersection, however. At four-way intersections, vehicles turning left are meant yield to right turning vehicles.
When do you yield to the driver on the right?
Few areas of traffic safety are more misunderstood than the ‘Yield to the Driver on the Right’ rule. This is the rule that controls most intersections when drivers arrive at an intersection simultaneously. For instance, you come upon a stop sign at the same time as another driver in a cross street and he is on your right.
Do you have to yield at a T-intersection?
T-intersection right of way calls for the turning vehicles to yield to straight-moving traffic. This is the case unless there is a traffic light direction that movement. The right of way rules do not apply to a T-intersection the way they do to a four-way intersection, however.
What happens when two vehicles meet on a mountain road?
If two vehicles meet on a narrow mountain road in which there is only room for one vehicle to travel at a time, the vehicle going downhill must yield to the vehicle traveling uphill. The downhill vehicle should pull over enough to allow the other vehicle through; unless it is more practical for the uphill vehicle to find a wider space or turnout.
