Four drivers are approaching a junction where a minor road and a private driveway connect to a major through-street. Based on official right-of-way rules, arrange the vehicles in the correct order in which they may proceed through the junction (from first to last).
- 1Vehicle A: Traveling straight on the major through-street
- 2Vehicle B: Turning left from the major through-street onto the minor side road
- 3Vehicle C: Turning left from the terminating minor side road onto the major through-street
- 4Vehicle D: Exiting a private commercial driveway to enter the public minor side road
Answer
The correct order of movement precedence is: Vehicle A (traveling straight on the major through-street), followed by Vehicle B (turning left off the major through-street), then Vehicle C (turning left from the terminating minor road), and finally Vehicle D (exiting the private driveway onto the public road).
Traffic on a major through-street always holds right-of-way over vehicles entering from minor intersecting roads or private driveways. Consequently, the vehicle traveling straight on the major road proceeds first, followed by the vehicle turning off the major street. The vehicle positioned on the public minor road proceeds third after yielding to major street traffic. Finally, the vehicle exiting private property must yield to all public road traffic and proceed last.
