Practice question

What should you do if you are approaching an intersection with no signals or signage?

  1. Speed up to cross quickly
  2. Yield to vehicles on your right
  3. Come to a complete stop
  4. Continue at the same speed

Answer: B — Yield to vehicles on your right

When approaching an intersection that lacks signals or signage, it is essential to yield to vehicles on your right. This practice is grounded in the principles of right-of-way, which dictate that at uncontrolled intersections, the driver on the left must yield to the driver on the right. This rule helps maintain a safe and organized flow of traffic and prevents collisions by clarifying who has priority. Recognizing the vehicle positioning is crucial in situations where traffic control measures are absent, as it allows drivers to navigate intersections more safely. By yielding to the vehicle on your right, you are acknowledging their right of way, which creates a more predictable and manageable environment for all road users. In situations where you're approaching such an intersection, rather than speeding up, stopping unnecessarily, or continuing without adjusting your speed, yielding ensures that you contribute to a safe driving experience for yourself and others.
