Driver A approaches an intersection where the traffic signal is flashing red. At the same time, Driver B approaches the same intersection from a cross street where the signal is flashing yellow. Which driver must yield the right-of-way?

  1. Driver A, because a flashing red signal acts like a stop sign and requires stopping and yielding to cross traffic.Cevap
  2. B
    Driver B, because a flashing yellow signal requires drivers to come to a complete stop before entering.
  3. C
    Driver B, because the driver approaching from the left must always yield to the driver on the right regardless of signals.
  4. D
    Whichever 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.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Identify the signal state facing Driver A
Driver A faces a flashing red light, which mandates stopping completely and yielding the right-of-way to conflicting traffic.
Traffic laws equate a flashing red signal to a standard STOP sign.
2
Identify the signal state facing Driver B
Driver B faces a flashing yellow light, which permits proceeding through the intersection with caution without stopping.
A flashing yellow signal alerts drivers to proceed with caution while maintaining right-of-way priority over stopping traffic.
3
Determine right-of-way precedence
Driver A must wait until Driver B has safely cleared the intersection before entering.
Traffic facing a flashing yellow light has right-of-way precedence over traffic facing a flashing red light.
