Manitoba Class 5 Learner's Driving Test Intersections and Yielding 4

Question 1

In Manitoba, when you arrive at a stop sign, where exactly must you stop?

Accepted Answer

At the stop line, crosswalk line, or edge of the intersecting road — whichever comes first

Answer

You must stop at the stop line if one is painted. If there is no stop line, stop at the crosswalk. If there is no crosswalk, stop at the edge of the intersecting roadway where you have a clear view of approaching traffic.

Question 2

What should you do at a Manitoba intersection when you have a green light but an emergency vehicle with sirens is approaching from a cross street?

Accepted Answer

Stop and yield to the emergency vehicle regardless of the signal

Answer

Emergency vehicles with active sirens and lights have the right-of-way over all traffic signals. You must stop and yield to the emergency vehicle regardless of whether you have a green light.

Question 3

In Manitoba, when making a right turn, into which lane should you turn?

Accepted Answer

The lane closest to the right curb of the road you are entering

Answer

When making a right turn, you must turn into the lane closest to the right curb (the rightmost lane) of the road you are entering. You may change lanes after completing the turn if it is safe to do so.

Question 4

At a Manitoba intersection with a dedicated left-turn signal (green arrow), when does the arrow give you the right-of-way?

Accepted Answer

When the green arrow is illuminated — it gives you protected right-of-way to turn left

Answer

A green left-turn arrow gives you a protected turn phase. Oncoming traffic has a red light, so you may turn left without yielding to oncoming traffic. You must still yield to pedestrians in the crosswalk.

Question 5

What is the rule for entering a blocked intersection in Manitoba?

Accepted Answer

You must not enter the intersection unless you can completely clear it

Answer

It is illegal to enter an intersection if you cannot completely clear it. Blocking an intersection impedes cross traffic and can create gridlock. Wait behind the stop line until there is enough space to proceed through.
