Question

Difficulty: EasyRight-of-Way Rules at Intersections

When approaching an uncontrolled T-intersection where your road terminates, you must yield the right-of-way to vehicles traveling on the continuous through road.

Answer: Answer

Answer

True. Drivers approaching an uncontrolled T-intersection on a road that ends must yield the right-of-way to traffic traveling on the continuous through street.
At an uncontrolled T-intersection, drivers on the terminating road are required by law to yield the right-of-way to vehicles moving on the through street.

Step-by-Step Solution

1
Identify the intersection layout and control type.
The intersection is a T-intersection without stop signs, yield signs, or traffic signals (uncontrolled).
Establishing the intersection geometry and lack of control devices determines which standard right-of-way rule applies.
2
Apply standard DMV right-of-way laws for T-intersections.
Through traffic has precedence over traffic arriving from the terminating roadway.
Vehicles on the continuous through street maintain the right-of-way to allow smooth traffic flow and prevent broadside collisions.
