Right of way, pedestrians and parking lots: 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 ↗
Uncontrolled intersections
- No signs, signals or police: when two vehicles arrive at about the same time, the vehicle on the left yields to the vehicle on the right. Also applies at T-intersections.
- Turning left: yield to oncoming vehicles close enough that your turn would interfere.
- Entering a provincial highway from any other road: yield to highway traffic and to pedestrians closely approaching.
- Entering from a private road, lane or alley: yield to pedestrians on the sidewalk and to vehicles on the road.
Controlled intersections
- Facing a yield sign: yield to any other approaching vehicle.
- Three- and four-way stops: by courtesy the first vehicle to stop goes first; others yield to the vehicle on their right.
- Two-way stops: remain stopped until all cross traffic passes. Opposite stop signs, same time: left-turner yields to the driver going straight; then the left-turner may go even if another straight-through vehicle arrives meanwhile. Both going straight may go at the same time.
- At a stop sign you must yield to vehicles and pedestrians until safe.
- You have a moral and legal duty to avoid a collision even when you have the right of way.
Construction or maintenance vehicles
- Yield to highway construction or maintenance vehicles with warning lights on.
Zipper merge
- Use both lanes until the lane ends, then alternate. Ending lane: signal, shoulder check, merge when safe. Continuing lane: let one vehicle in.
- Reduces speed differences, backup length and congestion. Allowed and recommended in construction zones even without signs.
Pedestrians
- Yield to pedestrians crossing at intersections. Stop before the crosswalk (painted, or the imaginary extension of the sidewalk).
- If the light changes while a pedestrian is in the crosswalk, the pedestrian has the right of way.
- Stop when directed by a school crossing guard.
- Never pass a vehicle stopped at an intersection to let pedestrians cross.
- Pedestrians walking along a road should use the left shoulder, facing traffic. Pedestrians include people in wheelchairs, motorized wheelchairs and medical scooters.
- Jaywalkers: be ready to stop, but don't stop to invite people to cross mid-block; the car behind or drivers in other lanes may not expect it.
Wheelchairs and mobility aids
- Same rules as pedestrians. Yield at intersections, except on wide streets if the person is a safe distance from your side.
- Without a sidewalk, travel on the left shoulder facing traffic; a brightly coloured flag improves visibility.
Crossing urban streets
- Drive across a street only at an intersection, lane or alley (some cities ban crossing at lanes or alleys by bylaw).
Parking lots
- Many road rules apply: speed, signs, following distance, turns, signalling, backing.
- Lanes meeting without signs: treat as an uncontrolled intersection; yield to the vehicle on the right.
- Parking lanes and passageways must yield to thoroughfares (roads leading into, through or out of a lot, not used for parking).
Funeral processions
- Do not interfere with a funeral procession; it may continue through an uncontrolled intersection if others give up the right of way, but must obey signs and signals.
