Difficulty: EasyRight-of-Way Rules at Intersections

You are driving on a street that dead-ends at an uncontrolled T-intersection. As you prepare to turn onto the cross street, another vehicle is approaching on the through road. Who has the right-of-way in this scenario?

  1. The vehicle traveling on the through road has the right-of-way, so you must yield.Answer
  2. B
    You have the right-of-way because you are on the right side of the approaching vehicle.
  3. C
    Whichever vehicle reaches the intersection point first automatically gains the right-of-way.
  4. D
    Both vehicles must come to a complete stop before either vehicle may proceed.

Answer

The vehicle traveling on the through road has the right-of-way, so you must yield.
At an uncontrolled T-intersection, drivers traveling on the street that ends must yield the right-of-way to all vehicles moving on the continuous through street. Therefore, you must yield to the oncoming cross-street traffic.

Step-by-Step Solution

1
Identify the intersection type
The situation describes an uncontrolled T-intersection where a terminating street meets a continuous cross street.
T-intersections follow specific statutory right-of-way rules distinct from standard four-way intersections.
2
Apply the T-intersection right-of-way rule
Vehicles on the terminating road must yield to all traffic traveling along the through road.
Traffic on the through road has priority to maintain continuous flow.
