Difficulty: EasyRight-of-Way Rules at Intersections

Three vehicles arrive at an intersection controlled by four-way stop signs in sequential order: Vehicle A arrives and stops first, Vehicle B arrives and stops second, and Vehicle C arrives and stops third. In what order should these vehicles proceed through the intersection?

  1. 1Vehicle A proceeds through the intersection
  2. 2Vehicle B proceeds through the intersection
  3. 3Vehicle C proceeds through the intersection

Answer

The vehicles must proceed through the intersection in the exact order of their arrival: Vehicle A first, Vehicle B second, and Vehicle C third.
At an intersection controlled by four-way stop signs, right-of-way is granted based on arrival order. The driver who reaches the intersection and stops first moves first. Drivers arriving afterwards must yield and move in the exact sequence of their arrival.

Step-by-Step Solution

1
Identify the primary right-of-way rule for multi-way stop intersections.
The basic rule at a multi-way stop is 'first to arrive, first to proceed'.
Right-of-way at multi-way stop signs is established chronologically by arrival time to maintain orderly traffic flow.
2
Determine which vehicle proceeds first.
Vehicle A proceeds first.
Vehicle A was the first to arrive and come to a complete stop at the intersection.
3
Establish the sequence for the remaining vehicles.
Vehicle B proceeds second, followed by Vehicle C.
Vehicle B arrived second and Vehicle C arrived third, establishing their order of precedence behind Vehicle A.
