Difficulty: HardRight-of-Way Rules at Intersections

At an uncontrolled T-intersection where no stop signs, yield signs, or traffic signals are present, a driver traveling on the terminating road must yield the right-of-way to all vehicles traveling on the continuous through road.

Answer: Answer

Answer

True. At an uncontrolled T-intersection, the driver on the terminating road must yield the right-of-way to through traffic on the continuous road.
The statement accurately reflects state DMV right-of-way regulations: when approaching an uncontrolled T-intersection, vehicles on the street that ends must yield to all traffic traveling on the continuous through street.

Step-by-Step Solution

1
Identify the intersection type and control status
The scenario describes an uncontrolled T-intersection (a three-way intersection with no signals, stop signs, or yield signs).
Right-of-way priority is determined by intersection design when control devices are absent.
2
Apply the statutory T-intersection right-of-way rule
Vehicles on the terminating street (the street that ends) must yield to vehicles on the continuous street (the top of the 'T').
Traffic flow on continuous roadways has legal precedence over traffic entering from a terminating street.
3
Evaluate the statement's accuracy
The statement correctly assets that the terminating road driver must yield to through traffic.
The driver on the terminating road does not share equal right-of-way and must yield to vehicles approaching from both the left and right on the continuous road.
