Three vehicles approach an uncontrolled T-intersection at the same time. Place the vehicles in the correct order in which they have the right-of-way to proceed through the intersection (from first to last).
- 1The vehicle traveling straight along the through street.
- 2The vehicle on the through street preparing to make a left turn onto the terminating street.
- 3The vehicle stopped on the terminating street preparing to turn right onto the through street.
Answer
The correct order of precedence is: first, the vehicle traveling straight along the through street; second, the vehicle on the through street turning left; and third, the vehicle on the terminating street turning right.
At an uncontrolled T-intersection, traffic traveling on the through street has absolute right-of-way over traffic on the terminating road. On the through street itself, a vehicle moving straight has priority over a vehicle turning left. Therefore, the straight through-vehicle goes first, the left-turning through-vehicle goes second after yielding to oncoming traffic, and the vehicle on the terminating road proceeds last.
