Practice question

When multiple vehicles arrive at an intersection, which driver is required to yield the right of way?

  1. The driver on the main road
  2. The driver on the road that ends
  3. The larger vehicle
  4. The vehicle on the left

Answer: B — The driver on the road that ends

In situations where multiple vehicles approach an intersection, the driver on the road that ends is required to yield the right of way. This rule is part of the fundamental traffic laws that prioritize safety and the smooth flow of traffic. Specifically, if a driver is on a road that intersects with another road and that road has a stop sign or is designated as a dead end, the expectation is that the driver exiting the terminating road must give way to those on the continuing road. This principle helps prevent collisions at intersections and is based on the understanding that vehicles traveling on a main route typically have the right of way, as they are on a road with a greater volume of traffic. Therefore, it's essential for drivers to recognize their position in relation to the main roadway and yield accordingly to maintain safe and orderly traffic conditions.
