Class 7 Intersections and Right of Way 5

Question 1

In Alberta, what is the correct procedure when you want to turn left at an intersection with a median?

Accepted Answer

Turn left beyond the centre of the intersection, passing behind the median

Answer

When turning left at an intersection with a median, you should pass beyond the centre of the intersection and the median before completing your left turn, to avoid cutting the corner.

Question 2

When a traffic control person (flagperson) gives you directions that conflict with a traffic sign at an intersection in Alberta, who should you obey?

Accepted Answer

The traffic control person

Answer

A traffic control person's directions override traffic signs and signals. They have the legal authority to direct traffic, and you must follow their instructions.

Question 3

In Alberta, what is a channelized intersection?

Accepted Answer

An intersection where traffic islands and markings guide vehicles into specific paths

Answer

A channelized intersection uses traffic islands, raised medians, and pavement markings to guide vehicles into specific travel paths. This improves traffic flow and reduces conflict points.

Question 4

At an intersection in Alberta, you are turning left and an oncoming vehicle is turning right into the same road. Who has the right of way?

Accepted Answer

Both can turn at the same time into their respective lanes

Answer

Both vehicles can often complete their turns simultaneously if each turns into the correct lane. The left-turning vehicle enters the far lane and the right-turning vehicle enters the near lane.

Question 5

In Alberta, what should you do if you accidentally enter a wrong lane at an intersection and the light turns green?

Accepted Answer

Proceed through the intersection following the lane markings and make corrections after

Answer

If you are in the wrong lane when the light turns green, proceed safely through the intersection following the lane you are in. Make corrections by turning around or finding an alternate route afterward.
