Practice question

What should you do at an intersection without traffic signals?

  1. Come to a complete stop
  2. Yield to vehicles or pedestrians in the intersection
  3. Accelerate to pass through quickly
  4. Ignore all vehicles and proceed

Answer: B — Yield to vehicles or pedestrians in the intersection

At an intersection without traffic signals, the appropriate action is to yield to vehicles or pedestrians that are already in the intersection. This is important for maintaining safety and ensuring that the flow of traffic is handled appropriately. When approaching such an intersection, drivers should assess the situation carefully and give right of way to those who have entered the intersection first. This helps to prevent collisions and allows for orderly movement through the intersection. Yielding is particularly crucial in cases where pedestrians may be crossing, as they have the right of way in many scenarios. Recognizing that there may be other vehicles or individuals already in the intersection emphasizes the necessity of yielding rather than assuming that one can simply proceed without considering the traffic situation.
