- CDriver B, because the driver approaching from the left must always yield to the driver on the right regardless of signals.
- DWhichever driver reaches the marked stop line second, because flashing lights convert the intersection into a standard four-way stop.
Cevap
Driver A must yield the right-of-way because a flashing red signal functions as a stop sign, requiring a complete stop and yielding to cross traffic.
A flashing red traffic signal carries the legal mandate of a stop sign: drivers must bring their vehicle to a complete stop and yield the right-of-way to any vehicle entering or approaching from another highway. Conversely, a flashing yellow signal instructs drivers to proceed with caution without stopping. Therefore, the driver facing the flashing red light must yield to the driver facing the flashing yellow light.
