Difficulty: EasyRight-of-Way Rules at Intersections

Three vehicles arrive at an intersection controlled by four-way stop signs at different times. Arrange the vehicles in the correct order of precedence for proceeding through the intersection, starting with the vehicle that has the right-of-way first.

  1. 1Vehicle A, which arrived and came to a complete stop first
  2. 2Vehicle B, which arrived and came to a complete stop second
  3. 3Vehicle C, which arrived and came to a complete stop third

Answer

Vehicle A proceeds first, followed by Vehicle B, and finally Vehicle C.
At an intersection controlled by four-way stop signs, precedence is established strictly by order of arrival. The driver who comes to a complete stop first has the right-of-way to enter the intersection first. Subsequent vehicles proceed in the exact sequence in which they arrived and stopped.

Step-by-Step Solution

1
Identify the right-of-way rule for a multi-way stop intersection.
Right-of-way is determined by the arrival order at the stop line.
Standard DMV traffic rules specify that drivers proceed through a multi-way stop on a first-come, first-served basis.
2
Sequence the vehicles based on their stopping order.
Vehicle A (first) -> Vehicle B (second) -> Vehicle C (third).
Each driver must yield the right-of-way to any vehicle that arrived and came to a complete stop prior to them.
