Difficulty: EasyRight-of-Way Rules at Intersections

Three vehicles approach a four-way stop intersection at different times. Place the vehicles in the correct order in which they should proceed through the intersection, from first to last.

  1. 1Vehicle A, which arrived and came to a complete stop first at the intersection.
  2. 2Vehicle B, which arrived and came to a complete stop second at the intersection.
  3. 3Vehicle C, which arrived and came to a complete stop third at the intersection.

Answer

The vehicles should proceed in order of arrival: Vehicle A first, followed by Vehicle B, and finally Vehicle C.
At a four-way stop sign, right-of-way is established by arrival order. The driver who comes to a complete stop first is entitled to proceed first, followed by subsequent drivers in the order of their arrival.

Step-by-Step Solution

1
Identify the primary right-of-way rule for four-way stop intersections.
Right-of-way at a four-way stop follows the first-in, first-out rule based on arrival time.
Traffic law dictates that drivers must yield to vehicles that have already stopped at the intersection prior to their arrival.
2
Determine the sequence based on arrival order.
Vehicle A stops first, Vehicle B stops second, and Vehicle C stops third.
Sequencing follows exact arrival order.
