Class 7 Intersections and Right of Way 6

Question 1

In Alberta, who has the right of way at an intersection where one road has a yield sign and the other has no sign?

Accepted Answer

The road without a sign has the right of way

Answer

The vehicle on the road without a sign has the right of way. The driver on the road with the yield sign must slow down, be prepared to stop, and yield to all traffic on the cross road.

Question 2

In Alberta, can you legally enter an intersection on a yellow light?

Accepted Answer

Yes, if you are too close to stop safely when the light turns yellow

Answer

You may legally enter an intersection on a yellow light if you are too close to stop safely when the light changes. However, you should not enter if you can stop safely before the stop line.

Question 3

When an emergency vehicle is approaching an intersection with a green light from a cross street in Alberta, what should all other traffic do?

Accepted Answer

Yield the right of way to the emergency vehicle and clear the intersection

Answer

All traffic must yield to an emergency vehicle with activated lights and sirens, regardless of traffic signals. Clear the intersection and pull to the right to allow the emergency vehicle to pass.

Question 4

At a three-way intersection with stop signs on all three approaches in Alberta, which vehicle goes first if all three arrive simultaneously?

Accepted Answer

The vehicle on the right relative to each driver, proceeding one at a time

Answer

When multiple vehicles arrive simultaneously, the right-of-way goes to the vehicle on the right. Vehicles should proceed one at a time, each yielding to the vehicle on their right.

Question 5

In Alberta, what does a 'NO RIGHT TURN ON RED' sign at an intersection mean?

Accepted Answer

You must not turn right when the light is red — you must wait for a green light

Answer

When a 'No Right Turn on Red' sign is posted, you must wait for a green light before turning right. This overrides the default rule that allows right turns on red after stopping.
