Three drivers approach a signalized intersection simultaneously under different movement intentions and signal states. Arrange the vehicles in the correct order of right-of-way priority, from first to proceed to last to proceed.
- 1A vehicle traveling straight through the intersection on a solid green light
- 2A vehicle making an unprotected left turn on a solid green light
- 3A vehicle turning right on a solid red light after making a complete stop
Answer
1. A vehicle traveling straight through the intersection on a solid green light
2. A vehicle making an unprotected left turn on a solid green light
3. A vehicle turning right on a solid red light after making a complete stop
2. A vehicle making an unprotected left turn on a solid green light
3. A vehicle turning right on a solid red light after making a complete stop
Vehicles moving straight through an intersection on a solid green light hold highest priority. Drivers executing an unprotected left turn on green must yield to oncoming straight traffic, but hold right-of-way over vehicles turning right on a solid red light. Drivers turning right on red must yield to all traffic lawfully proceeding through the intersection on a green light.
