Driver's Manual

Terms in this set (6)

Most traffic crashes occur at...
intersections and parking lots
Right of way rules
A driver who approaches an intersection must yield the right-of-way to traffic that is in the intersection

If drivers approaching from the opposite directions reach an intersection at about the same time, a driver that turns left must yield to traffic that moves straight or turns right

You must also yield to traffic headed toward you when you turn left into a driveway, parking lot or other area, even if there are no signs or signals that control the turn

At intersections not controlled by signs or signals, or where two or more drivers at STOP sign at the same time and they are at right angles, the driver on the left must yield the right-of-way to the driver on the right
Right of way rules 2
A vehicle that enters a roadway from a driveway, private road or another put that is not a roadway, must stop and yield the right-of-way to traffic on the roadway and to pedestrians

Drivers must yield to pedestrians who legally use marked or unmarked crosswalks. This means you must show down or stop if necessary

You cannot enter an intersection if traffic is backed up on the other side and you cannot get completely through the intersection. Wait until traffic ahead clears, so you do not black the intersection.

A driver who enters a traffic circle or rotary must yield the right-of-way to drivers already in the circle
