Class 7 Intersections and Right of Way 3

Question 1

In Alberta, who has the right of way when a vehicle is exiting a driveway onto a road?

Accepted Answer

Traffic on the road and pedestrians on the sidewalk

Answer

Vehicles exiting a driveway must yield to all traffic on the road and all pedestrians on the sidewalk. The driver leaving the driveway must wait until the way is clear.

Question 2

What does a flashing green light or green arrow at an intersection mean in Alberta?

Accepted Answer

You have a protected turn in the direction of the arrow — oncoming traffic has a red light

Answer

A flashing green light or green arrow indicates a protected or advanced turn phase. Oncoming traffic has a red signal, so you may turn without yielding to oncoming vehicles, though you must still watch for pedestrians.

Question 3

In Alberta, if the traffic lights go out at an intersection, how should drivers treat it?

Accepted Answer

As an all-way stop — every vehicle must stop before proceeding

Answer

When traffic lights are not functioning at an intersection in Alberta, all drivers must treat the intersection as an all-way stop. Each vehicle must come to a complete stop and proceed in order of arrival.

Question 4

At an intersection with both a stop sign and a traffic signal in Alberta, which should you obey?

Accepted Answer

The traffic signal takes priority when it is functioning

Answer

When both a stop sign and a traffic signal are present, the functioning traffic signal takes priority. The stop sign is there as a backup for when the signal is not working.

Question 5

In Alberta, what should you do at an intersection where your lane has a dedicated right-turn lane with a 'RIGHT TURN ONLY' sign?

Accepted Answer

You must turn right — you cannot go straight from this lane

Answer

If you are in a lane marked 'Right Turn Only,' you must turn right. If you need to go straight or turn left, you must be in the appropriate lane before reaching the intersection.
