Right of way and intersections
Knowing who yields prevents collisions. Right of way is something you give, not take -- when in doubt, yield.
Key facts to remember
- ◆ At a four-way stop, if two vehicles arrive together, the one on the right goes first.
- ◆ When a traffic signal is out, treat the intersection as an all-way stop.
- ◆ Turning vehicles must yield to pedestrians crossing the road they are entering.
- ◆ A flashing red light means stop, then proceed when clear; a flashing green allows a protected left turn.
- ◆ You may turn right on red after a full stop when clear, unless a sign prohibits it.
