Difficulty: EasyRight-of-Way Rules at Intersections

Three drivers arrive at an intersection controlled by four-way stop signs at different times. Arrange the vehicles in the correct order in which they should proceed through the intersection.

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

Answer

Vehicles must proceed in the exact order of their arrival and complete stop: Vehicle A first, Vehicle B second, and Vehicle C third.
At a four-way stop intersection, right-of-way is granted based on arrival order. The vehicle that arrives and comes to a complete stop first has the right to proceed first, followed sequentially by the second and third vehicles to arrive.

Step-by-Step Solution

1
Identify the traffic control device at the intersection.
The intersection is controlled by four-way stop signs on all approaches.
Four-way stop rules govern right-of-way priority when multiple approaches have stop signs.
2
Apply the fundamental sequential right-of-way rule for multi-way stops.
The vehicle that reaches the intersection and completes its stop first has the right-of-way.
Traffic law establishes first-come, first-served movement priority to maintain orderly traffic flow.
3
Sequence all remaining vehicles by their order of complete arrival.
Vehicle A proceeds first, followed by Vehicle B, and finally Vehicle C.
Each driver must yield to vehicles that completed their stops prior to their own arrival.
