Difficulty: EasyRight-of-Way Rules at Intersections

You are driving on a road that ends at an uncontrolled T-intersection with a continuous through street. Which driver has the right-of-way?

  1. Drivers traveling on the through street have the right-of-way, so you must yield to them before turning or entering.Answer
  2. B
    You have the right-of-way because vehicles approaching from your left must always yield to traffic on their right.
  3. C
    You must yield only if an emergency vehicle is approaching, otherwise you have automatic right-of-way.
  4. D
    The driver traveling at the higher speed has the right-of-way regardless of which road they are on.

Answer

Drivers traveling on the through street have the right-of-way, so the driver on the terminating road must yield to them.
At an uncontrolled T-intersection, traffic traveling on the through street has the right-of-way over vehicles on the terminating street. Drivers on the street that ends must yield to all through traffic before turning or entering.

Step-by-Step Solution

1
Identify the intersection layout and control type.
The scenario describes an uncontrolled T-intersection where a terminating road meets a continuous through street.
Right-of-way rules are determined by roadway layout when traffic signs or signals are absent.
2
Apply standard DMV T-intersection precedence rules.
Vehicles on the terminating street must yield to through traffic.
Traffic continuing on an uninterrupted through street has right-of-way over traffic entering from a road that ends.
