You arrive at an intersection where the traffic signals are completely dark due to a local power outage. A vehicle approaching from the cross street on your right stops at the intersection at the exact same time as your vehicle. Which of the following describes the correct right-of-way rule in this situation?

  1. Treat the intersection as an all-way stop and yield the right-of-way to the vehicle on your right.Cevap
  2. B
    Treat the intersection as an uncontrolled roadway and proceed without stopping since no stop sign is posted.
  3. C
    Proceed ahead of the vehicle on your right because traffic moving straight always has priority over cross-street traffic.
  4. D
    Flash your headlights to signal the vehicle on your right to yield, then proceed immediately.

Cevap

Treat the intersection as an all-way stop and yield the right-of-way to the vehicle on your right.
When traffic signals are unpowered or malfunctioning, official traffic laws dictate that the intersection operate as an all-way stop. Under standard all-way stop procedures, when two vehicles stop at the intersection at the exact same time, the driver on the left must yield the right-of-way to the vehicle on the right.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Determine the intersection control status.
Because the traffic signals are completely dark, the intersection must be treated as an all-way stop.
State traffic laws require inoperative traffic signals to function as all-way stops.
2
Apply right-of-way priority rules for simultaneous arrivals.
Since both vehicles arrive and stop at the exact same time, the driver on the left yields to the driver on the right.
At an all-way stop, when two vehicles arrive simultaneously, the vehicle approaching from the right has the right-of-way.
