Difficulty: EasyRight-of-Way Rules at Intersections

You are approaching an intersection controlled by a Yield sign, while a vehicle on the intersecting roadway approaches without any control signs. Which of the following actions must you take under official right-of-way rules?

  1. Slow down and give the right-of-way to traffic on the intersecting road, stopping if necessary to let them pass safely.Answer
  2. B
    Maintain your speed and proceed through because you arrived at the intersection boundary first.
  3. C
    Come to a mandatory complete stop at the yield line, regardless of whether any cross traffic is present.
  4. D
    Proceed immediately because vehicles approaching from the right at controlled intersections always have priority.

Answer

Slow down and give the right-of-way to traffic on the intersecting road, stopping if necessary to let them pass safely.
A Yield sign legally obligates a driver to reduce speed and grant right-of-way to all vehicles approaching on the intersecting road, bringing the vehicle to a full stop only if necessary to avoid impeding or endangering cross traffic.

Step-by-Step Solution

1
Identify the traffic control device governing your lane.
Your lane is controlled by a regulatory Yield sign.
Regulatory signs dictate mandatory right-of-way behavior.
2
Evaluate cross-traffic conditions.
A vehicle is approaching on the cross road without any control signs.
Uncontrolled traffic on the main roadway has precedence over traffic facing a Yield sign.
3
Execute the required yield procedure.
Slow down, prepare to stop if necessary, and yield right-of-way until the intersection is clear.
A Yield sign requires yielding priority to any vehicle that constitutes an immediate hazard.
