Practice question

At an intersection with no stop sign or signal, who must you yield to?

  1. Vehicles to your right
  2. Vehicles to your left
  3. All vehicles
  4. No one

Answer: B — Vehicles to your left

At an intersection without a stop sign or signal, the proper course of action is to yield to vehicles on your left. This is because, in the absence of any traffic control devices indicating right-of-way, the general rule is that vehicles coming from your right have the right-of-way. Conversely, if two vehicles arrive at an intersection simultaneously, the driver on the left must yield to the driver on the right. This only reinforces the understanding that yield means to give way to other traffic. Therefore, recognizing that vehicles approaching from the left are giving priority to those on the right clarifies the correct approach to navigating the intersection safely. Understanding this rule is essential for ensuring a smooth flow of traffic and preventing accidents.
