DKT Intersections 3 — Questions and Answers
Question 1: When you see a yield sign at an intersection, you must:
- Slow down and give way to traffic and pedestrians (Correct answer)
- Always stop completely
- Speed up to merge
- Ignore it if the road looks clear
Correct 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.
Question 2: Two vehicles approach an intersection from opposite directions; one is going straight and the other wants to turn left. Who yields?
- The vehicle turning left (Correct answer)
- The vehicle going straight
- The faster vehicle
- Neither, they go together
Correct answer: The vehicle turning left
A driver turning left must yield to oncoming traffic that is proceeding straight through the intersection.
Question 3: 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:
- Wait until you can clear the intersection completely (Correct answer)
- Enter anyway and wait inside it
- Honk and push through
- Reverse to the previous block
Correct 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.
Question 4: When approaching a roundabout, you should yield to:
- Traffic already circulating in the roundabout (Correct answer)
- Traffic waiting to enter
- Pedestrians only
- No one—just merge in
Correct answer: Traffic already circulating in the roundabout
Vehicles already in the roundabout have the right of way, so entering drivers must yield to them.
Question 5: At an intersection with a stop sign, where should you stop if there is no marked stop line or crosswalk?
- Before entering the intersection where you can see cross traffic (Correct answer)
- In the middle of the intersection
- After passing the sign by two car lengths
- Only if other cars are present
Correct 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.
Question 6: A driver wishing to go straight and a driver wishing to turn right both reach a green light. The right-turning driver should:
- Yield to pedestrians and merge when safe (Correct answer)
- Stop and wait for the next light
- Cut in front of straight traffic
- Reverse to allow others
Correct answer: Yield to pedestrians and merge when safe
A right-turning driver must still yield to pedestrians in the crosswalk before completing the turn.
Question 7: Emergency vehicle approaches with lights and sirens as you wait at an intersection. You should:
- Stay or pull over to let it pass and not enter the intersection (Correct answer)
- Speed through the intersection first
- Follow closely behind it
- Stop in the middle of the intersection
Correct 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.
