Who gets the right of way: those on a driveway or the main street?

Answer: B — Those on the main street

In Texas, as well as in many other jurisdictions, vehicles traveling on a main street have the right of way over those entering from a driveway. This rule is in place to ensure that traffic flows smoothly and safely on the roadways. Drivers on driveways are required to yield to oncoming traffic on the main street before merging into the roadway. This is important because it minimizes the risk of accidents at intersections where driveways meet more heavily traveled roads. Situations may vary based on specific circumstances like signage or signals, but generally, the main street is designed for through traffic, while driveways are typically for entering or exiting private lots. Understanding this rule helps drivers to make safer decisions and to navigate intersections and driveways effectively.
