Right of way and pedestrians: key rules to remember

Our summary of what the official handbook says on this topic, in our own words. Read it before or after the practice questions above, then check the original chapter. Read the official chapter ↗

Three-way or four-way stops (p. 52)

  • Vehicles arriving at about the same time from different directions: the vehicle on the left yields to the vehicle on the right.
  • Entering first does not automatically give you the right-of-way; slow enough to keep control in residential areas.
  • Before entering a highway, stop completely before any marked or unmarked crosswalk, or else before the travelled portion of the highway.

Left turns; lanes, driveways and alleys (pp. 53–54)

  • Turning left: be in the proper lane, signal, yield to vehicles and pedestrians within or near the intersection.
  • Rural: entering/crossing a highway from a private road, lane, driveway or building — stop, yield, don't enter if there's danger or if another driver would have to swerve or brake.
  • In a restricted speed area such as a 50 km/h zone: stop before driving onto the crosswalk, check for pedestrians and vehicles and yield.

Stop signs (pp. 54–55)

  • City/town: stop before the crosswalk, or at a marked stop line, or at the point nearest the intersecting road where pedestrians normally cross.
  • Rural: stop before the edge of the road you're entering; look both ways; slippery road needs a bigger gap; look twice both ways starting with the left; yield to close or fast traffic.
  • Rolling a stop sign is illegal.

Emergency vehicles and funeral processions (pp. 55–56)

  • Emergency vehicle with siren, horn or warning signals from any direction: move clear of an intersection, drive as close as possible to the right curb or edge, stop until it has passed. On one-way streets pull to the right or left.
  • Funeral procession (headlights on): proceed through a red light or stop sign only if a police officer is present and directs. Approaching vehicles must slow to half the posted limit. Never pass through a procession from behind. PEI funeral vehicles have purple flashing lights.

Yield signs and pedestrians (pp. 56–59)

  • Yield sign: slow to a speed where you can stop; stop if necessary.
  • Pedestrians have the right-of-way in marked or unmarked crosswalks at intersections with stop or yield signs and at open intersections.
  • When a vehicle has stopped for a pedestrian, a driver behind must not pass it; the oncoming driver must also stop.
  • Pedestrians: cross at intersections; walk on the left facing traffic on highways; wear light or reflective clothing at night.
  • White cane (or guide dog): drive with caution; a raised cane is your signal to stop and let the person go.
