Difficulty: EasyRight-of-Way Rules at Intersections

Three vehicles approach a four-way stop-controlled intersection and come to a complete stop sequentially at different times. Place the vehicles in the correct order in which they have the right-of-way to proceed through the intersection.

  1. 1Vehicle A, which arrived and stopped at the intersection first
  2. 2Vehicle B, which arrived and stopped at the intersection second
  3. 3Vehicle C, which arrived and stopped at the intersection third

Answer

The vehicles should proceed in order of arrival: Vehicle A first, Vehicle B second, and Vehicle C third.
Under standard traffic laws, multi-way stop intersections operate under a strict first-come, first-served rule. The vehicle that arrives and stops first maintains right-of-way over vehicles arriving later, regardless of whether a vehicle is turning or going straight.

Step-by-Step Solution

1
Identify the primary rule governing four-way stop intersections.
Right-of-way is granted on a first-come, first-served basis according to complete stop arrival order.
Standard traffic regulations mandate that when vehicles arrive at a multi-way stop at different times, arrival sequence determines movement order.
2
Sequence the vehicles according to their arrival times.
Vehicle A (first to stop) goes first, Vehicle B (second to stop) goes second, and Vehicle C (third to stop) goes third.
Each vehicle must yield to any vehicle that arrived and came to a complete stop prior to its own arrival.
