Right-of-Way

Who Goes First?

At STOP signs, yield to traffic on the street that has no traffic signs or signals.

At four-way stops, yield to vehicles that arrive first. If you arrive at the same time, yield to a vehicle from the right.

At intersections not controlled by traffic signs or signals, yield to vehicles already in the intersection.

Drivers on the left must yield to those on their right.

Coming out of a driveway or alley, yield to all vehicles in the roadway.

At all YIELD signs, yield to all vehicles on the cross street.

In the city, search carefully for pedestrians, cyclists, and other vehicles at intersections. Before entering an intersection, make sure no vehicles or people are blocking your intended path of travel.

At traffic lights, yield to vehicles still in the intersection when the light changes.

When you are turning left at an intersection, yield to all oncoming vehicles until you have the time and space to make a turn.

Always signal while still in the acceleration lane and before merging into highway traffic.
