Difficulty: MediumRight-of-Way Rules at Intersections

You are driving on a road that ends at an uncontrolled T-intersection with a busy through street. As you approach the intersection to turn onto the through street, another vehicle is approaching from your left along the through street. Which driver must yield the right-of-way?

  1. You must yield to the vehicle traveling on the through street before turning.Answer
  2. B
    The vehicle on the through street must yield because you are approaching from its right side.
  3. C
    Neither driver needs to yield if there are no posted regulatory stop or yield signs.
  4. D
    You may accelerate and overtake any slow-moving vehicle on the through street while completing your turn.

Answer

The driver on the terminating road must yield the right-of-way to traffic on the through street.
At an uncontrolled T-intersection, vehicles on the road that ends must yield the right-of-way to vehicles traveling on the continuing through street.

Step-by-Step Solution

1
Identify the intersection layout.
The scenario describes an uncontrolled T-intersection where one road ends at a perpendicular through street.
Special right-of-way rules apply specifically to T-intersections.
2
Apply statutory T-intersection right-of-way rules.
Traffic on the terminating road does not have priority over through traffic.
Drivers entering a through road from a road that ends must yield to all vehicles on the through road.
3
Determine the correct driver action.
The driver approaching on the terminating road must yield to the approaching vehicle on the through street.
This ensures smooth traffic flow and prevents broadside collisions.
