Difficulty: EasyRight-of-Way Rules at Intersections

You are driving straight on a through street and approaching an uncontrolled T-intersection, where a side street ends at your road. A car on the terminating side street reaches the intersection at the same time and intends to turn onto your street. Which vehicle has the right-of-way?

  1. The vehicle traveling on the through street has the right-of-way, so the driver on the terminating road must yield.Answer
  2. B
    The vehicle on the terminating road has the right-of-way because vehicles entering a main road always take precedence.
  3. C
    The vehicle turning left from either street automatically loses all right-of-way, requiring both drivers to yield to each other.
  4. D
    The vehicle on the through street must make a complete stop and yield to any vehicle approaching from the side street.

Answer

The vehicle traveling on the through street has the right-of-way, so the driver on the terminating road must yield.
Under standard traffic laws, at an uncontrolled T-intersection, drivers on the street that ends must yield the right-of-way to all vehicles traveling on the continuing through road.

Step-by-Step Solution

1
Identify the intersection layout and control type.
The scenario describes an uncontrolled T-intersection where one road ends at a through street.
Different right-of-way rules apply depending on whether the intersection is a standard 4-way, controlled by signs/signals, or a T-intersection.
2
Apply the T-intersection right-of-way rule.
Drivers on the terminating street must yield right-of-way to vehicles traveling on the continuing through street.
Traffic flow on through streets has legal priority over vehicles entering from ending side streets.
