Basic Concepts
Understanding Right-of-Way
What is Right-of-Way?
Right-of-way determines who goes first and who waits at intersections, crosswalks, and other traffic situations. It prevents confusion and accidents by setting clear rules for all road users.
Common Right-of-Way Scenarios
- Intersections without Signs: Yield to the car on your right.
- Stop Signs: First come, first go, but if two cars arrive at the same time, the car on the right goes first.
- Pedestrian Crosswalks: Always yield to pedestrians.
- Turning Left: Yield to oncoming traffic.
- Emergency Vehicles: Always pull over and let them pass.
Why It Matters
Knowing when to yield or proceed keeps traffic flowing and prevents crashes. If in doubt, yield!
Examples
At a four-way stop, you arrive at the same time as another driver to your right; you let them go first.
You stop and wait for a pedestrian to cross the street at a marked crosswalk.
In a Nutshell
Right-of-way rules tell drivers and pedestrians who should go first to keep everyone safe.
