Intersections Flashcards

When you see a yield sign at an intersection, you must:

Answer: Slow down and give way to traffic and pedestrians

A yield sign requires you to slow down and let cross traffic and pedestrians go before you proceed.

Two vehicles approach an intersection from opposite directions; one is going straight and the other wants to turn left. Who yields?

Answer: The vehicle turning left

A driver turning left must yield to oncoming traffic that is proceeding straight through the intersection.

You are stopped at a red light and want to go straight. The light turns green but the intersection is blocked with traffic. You should:

Answer: Wait until you can clear the intersection completely

Never enter an intersection unless you can clear it, to avoid blocking cross traffic when the light changes.

When approaching a roundabout, you should yield to:

Answer: Traffic already circulating in the roundabout

Vehicles already in the roundabout have the right of way, so entering drivers must yield to them.

At an intersection with a stop sign, where should you stop if there is no marked stop line or crosswalk?

Answer: Before entering the intersection where you can see cross traffic

Stop before entering the intersection at a point where you have a clear view of cross traffic.

A driver wishing to go straight and a driver wishing to turn right both reach a green light. The right-turning driver should:

Answer: Yield to pedestrians and merge when safe

A right-turning driver must still yield to pedestrians in the crosswalk before completing the turn.

Emergency vehicle approaches with lights and sirens as you wait at an intersection. You should:

Answer: Stay or pull over to let it pass and not enter the intersection

Yield to emergency vehicles by clearing their path and never block the intersection they need to cross.
