Georgia Learners Test Intersections and Right-of-Way 1 — Questions and Answers
Question 1: At a four-way stop, two vehicles arrive at the same time from different streets. Who has the right-of-way?
- The vehicle traveling at a higher speed
- The vehicle on the left
- The vehicle on the right (Correct answer)
- The larger vehicle
Correct answer: The vehicle on the right
When two vehicles reach a four-way stop at the same time, Georgia law requires you to yield to the vehicle on your right.
Question 2: When turning left at an intersection with a green light, you must yield to:
- All oncoming traffic and pedestrians in the crosswalk (Correct answer)
- Only pedestrians crossing your path
- Only large trucks and buses coming toward you
- Nobody — a green light gives you the right-of-way
Correct answer: All oncoming traffic and pedestrians in the crosswalk
A green light permits a left turn but does not grant the right-of-way; you must still yield to oncoming vehicles and pedestrians already in the intersection.
Question 3: You approach an uncontrolled intersection (no signs or signals) at the same time as a vehicle coming from your right. What should you do?
- Proceed — you were there first
- Honk your horn and proceed
- Yield to the vehicle on your right (Correct answer)
- Speed up to clear the intersection quickly
Correct answer: Yield to the vehicle on your right
At an uncontrolled intersection, you must yield to any vehicle that has arrived first or is approaching from your right.
Question 4: A traffic signal is completely dark (not functioning). How should you treat this intersection?
- Proceed without stopping since no signal applies
- Treat it as a yield sign
- Treat it as a four-way stop (Correct answer)
- Treat it as a one-way street
Correct answer: Treat it as a four-way stop
Georgia law requires drivers to treat a non-functioning traffic signal as a four-way stop, coming to a full stop and yielding appropriately.
Question 5: You are entering a roundabout. Who has the right-of-way?
- Vehicles entering the roundabout
- Vehicles already circulating inside the roundabout (Correct answer)
- The vehicle on your left
- Larger vehicles regardless of position
Correct answer: Vehicles already circulating inside the roundabout
Traffic already circulating inside a roundabout has the right-of-way; entering drivers must yield before merging.
Question 6: At a T-intersection where a minor road meets a major road without signs or signals, who must yield?
- Drivers on the major road yield to drivers on the minor road
- Drivers on the minor road must yield to through traffic on the major road (Correct answer)
- The driver making a left turn always has the right-of-way
- Both drivers must stop and flip a coin
Correct answer: Drivers on the minor road must yield to through traffic on the major road
At a T-intersection, the driver on the terminating (minor) road must yield to vehicles traveling on the through (major) road.
Question 7: Two vehicles approach a green light at an intersection at the same time — one going straight and one turning left. Who has the right-of-way?
- The vehicle turning left
- The vehicle going straight (Correct answer)
- Whoever reaches the center of the intersection first
- The vehicle that has traveled the longer distance
Correct answer: The vehicle going straight
A vehicle going straight through an intersection always has the right-of-way over a vehicle making a left turn at the same signal.
