Ch. 4 Rules of the road, pp. 39–46

  • Must signal to turn, change lanes, park, or move toward/away from the roadside.
  • Uncontrolled intersection: slow, scan left to right; if another vehicle arrived first, yield; if simultaneous, vehicle on the left yields to the one on the right. Unmarked T-intersection = any uncontrolled intersection.
  • Left turners yield to traffic in or near the intersection; if you are going straight and a vehicle is already in the intersection turning left, you should yield (p. 40).
  • Stopping position: crosswalk and stop line → before stop line; crosswalk only → before crosswalk; unmarked crosswalk → where you would stop if marked; none of these → just before entering the intersection.
  • Follow a traffic control person's directions.
  • Even with the right-of-way, do all you can to avoid a crash. If in doubt, yield.
  • Illegal to back into an intersection or over a crosswalk.
  • Taking possession for a left turn: move into the intersection fully over the crosswalk, stay on your side, stop before the midpoint; keep wheels straight; shoulder check left for pedestrians.
  • Two-way stop: through street has the right-of-way; of two stopped vehicles, the left turner yields unless already in the intersection and turning.
  • Four-way stop: first to arrive and stop goes first; simultaneous → the one on the right goes first; facing each other → left turner yields to straight-through.
  • Yield sign: may enter without stopping if the through road is clear; otherwise slow, stop if needed, wait for a gap.
  • Traffic circles: usually one lane; obey signs; with no signs treat as uncontrolled; yield to traffic in the circle; simultaneous arrival → yield to the vehicle on your right; go counter-clockwise; no left signal when entering; signal to exit.
  • Roundabouts: larger, may be multi-lane, truck apron; choose lane before entering (left lane to turn left, right lane to turn right, either to go straight); yield to pedestrians and traffic already in; no lane changes; don't ride alongside large vehicles; stay in the lane you entered; signal right before exit.
  • Emergency vehicle approaching: stop before entering a circle/roundabout; if inside, exit, pull over, stop.
  • Entering a road from driveway/alley/lot: stop before the sidewalk, then yield to road traffic.
