Practice question

At an intersection with no traffic signals, who has the right of way?

  1. The cars on the right
  2. The cars on the left
  3. The cars going straight
  4. All the cars have the same right of way

Answer: A — The cars on the right

At an intersection with no traffic signals, cars on the right have the right of way. This is because in most countries, including the United States, drivers are expected to yield to the right when there are no traffic signals or signs present. This allows for a smoother flow of traffic and prevents confusion or potential accidents. Option B is incorrect because it goes against the principle of yielding to the cars on the right. Option C is incorrect because although cars going straight may have the right of way in some situations, it is not a universal rule at an intersection with no traffic signals. Option D is also incorrect because even though all cars should always exercise caution and yield appropriately, the right of way is typically given to the cars on the right in this situation.
