Practice question

Who has the right of way at a T-junction when no signs are present?

  1. The traffic coming from the left
  2. The traffic coming from the right
  3. The first vehicle to arrive
  4. All vehicles must stop

Answer: B — The traffic coming from the right

At a T-junction where there are no signs indicating right of way, the rule that applies is that traffic coming from the right has the right of way. This is a fundamental principle of road rules in Germany, and it aligns with many European driving regulations. It encourages safe driving practices by providing clear expectations for both drivers at intersections. Traffic from the right is prioritized to prevent confusion and ensure a smoother flow of vehicles. Understanding this rule is crucial for drivers to navigate T-junctions safely, as following the right of way helps to minimize the risk of accidents. In situations where multiple vehicles might approach an intersection simultaneously, knowing that the vehicle on the right should continue can help drivers anticipate actions and respond appropriately.
