Question

Difficulty: MediumRight-of-Way Rules at Intersections

At an uncontrolled T-intersection, where a terminating road meets a continuing through road without any traffic signs or signals, the driver on the terminating road has the right-of-way and may proceed without yielding.

Answer: Answer

Answer

False. At an uncontrolled T-intersection, the driver traveling on the road that ends (terminating road) must yield the right-of-way to all vehicles and pedestrians on the continuing through road.
The statement is false. According to standard DMV traffic rules, drivers on a road that terminates at a T-intersection must yield the right-of-way to vehicles traveling on the continuing through street.

Step-by-Step Solution

1
Identify the intersection layout and control type
The scenario describes a T-intersection with no traffic control signs or signals (uncontrolled T-intersection).
Determining the road hierarchy establishes which standard statutory right-of-way rule applies.
2
Apply statutory right-of-way rules for T-intersections
Under state DMV standards, traffic on a terminating road does not have priority over traffic on a through road.
Vehicles on the continuing through road have the continuous right-of-way, requiring vehicles approaching from the street that ends to stop or yield until safe.
3
Evaluate the truth value of the stem statement
The statement claims the driver on the terminating road has right-of-way, which contradicts statutory rules.
Since the driver on the terminating road must yield, the statement is false.
