Intersections and Yielding Flashcards

In Manitoba, when entering a highway from a private driveway, who has the right-of-way?

Answer: Traffic on the highway — you must yield to all vehicles and pedestrians before entering

When entering a highway or road from a private driveway, you must yield to all traffic on the road, including vehicles and pedestrians. You do not have the right-of-way until you have safely merged.

At a Manitoba intersection with a flashing green light (not an arrow), what does it mean?

Answer: You have a pedestrian-activated signal — you may proceed including left turns, as cross traffic has red

In Manitoba and Western Canada, a flashing green light indicates a pedestrian-controlled intersection. Cross traffic has a red light until a pedestrian pushes the button. You may proceed straight, turn left, or turn right freely.

What must you do when approaching a Manitoba intersection marked with a 'No Right Turn on Red' sign?

Answer: You must wait for a green light before turning right — no right turn on red is permitted

When a 'No Right Turn on Red' sign is posted, you must not turn right on a red light under any circumstances. You must wait for a green signal before making your right turn.

In Manitoba, when two vehicles arrive at a four-way stop at the same time and are facing each other (one going straight and one turning left), who goes first?

Answer: The vehicle going straight

When vehicles arrive simultaneously at a four-way stop from opposite directions, the vehicle going straight has the right-of-way over the vehicle turning left. The left-turning driver must yield.

What should you do when you approach a yield sign and there is no conflicting traffic?

Answer: Slow down, check, and proceed without stopping if it is safe

If you approach a yield sign and there is no conflicting traffic, you do not need to stop. However, you must slow down enough to verify there is no traffic and be prepared to stop if conditions change.

In Manitoba, when must you yield to a vehicle already in the intersection?

Answer: Always — any vehicle lawfully in the intersection has the right-of-way regardless of signal changes

You must always yield to a vehicle that is already lawfully within an intersection, even if your signal has turned green. Entering the intersection while another vehicle is still clearing it creates a collision risk.
