Difficulty: EasyRight-of-Way Rules at Intersections

You are driving on a road that terminates at an uncontrolled T-intersection with no stop signs or traffic signals. As you prepare to enter the through street, which of the following actions must you take regarding the right-of-way?

  1. Yield the right-of-way to all vehicles and pedestrians traveling on the through street.Answer
  2. B
    Take the right-of-way and turn immediately, since traffic on the through street must yield to entering vehicles.
  3. C
    Yield only to vehicles approaching from your right side while ignoring traffic approaching from your left.
  4. D
    Proceed without yielding unless a law enforcement officer is present to control traffic.

Answer

Yield the right-of-way to all vehicles and pedestrians traveling on the through street.
Under standard traffic laws, when a road ends at a T-intersection without traffic control devices, drivers on the terminating road must yield the right-of-way to all vehicles and pedestrians on the continuous through street before turning.

Step-by-Step Solution

1
Identify the intersection type and existing traffic controls.
The roadway ends at a T-intersection without stop signs, yield signs, or traffic signals.
Recognizing an uncontrolled T-intersection determines which statutory right-of-way rule applies.
2
Apply statutory T-intersection right-of-way rules.
Vehicles on the terminating (ending) road must yield to all traffic on the continuous through street.
Traffic moving along the through street has automatic right-of-way precedence over entering vehicles.
3
Select the correct driving response based on the rule.
Wait until the through street is clear of oncoming vehicles and pedestrians before initiating the turn.
Ensures safe entry without forcing through-traffic to slow down or maneuver around the entering vehicle.
