Manitoba Class 5 Learner's Driving Test Intersections and Yielding 1 — Questions and Answers
Question 1: At a four-way stop in Manitoba, which vehicle has the right-of-way?
- The largest vehicle
- The vehicle on the right if two vehicles arrive at the same time (Correct answer)
- The vehicle turning left
- The vehicle flashing its headlights
Correct answer: The vehicle on the right if two vehicles arrive at the same time
At a four-way stop when two vehicles arrive simultaneously, the vehicle on the right has the right-of-way. If vehicles arrive at different times, the first vehicle to stop proceeds first.
Question 2: When making a left turn at a controlled intersection in Manitoba, who must you yield to?
- No one — left turners always have priority
- Oncoming traffic going straight or turning right, and pedestrians in the crosswalk (Correct answer)
- Only pedestrians
- Only oncoming vehicles making a right turn
Correct answer: Oncoming traffic going straight or turning right, and pedestrians in the crosswalk
When turning left at an intersection, you must yield to all oncoming traffic going straight or turning right, as well as any pedestrians in the crosswalk you are crossing. Proceed only when it is safe.
Question 3: At an uncontrolled intersection (no signs or signals) in Manitoba, what is the right-of-way rule?
- The faster vehicle goes first
- The vehicle on the right has the right-of-way (Correct answer)
- The vehicle on the left has the right-of-way
- Neither vehicle has the right-of-way — both must stop
Correct answer: The vehicle on the right has the right-of-way
At an uncontrolled intersection where two vehicles arrive at approximately the same time, the vehicle on the right has the right-of-way. Both drivers should approach with caution and be prepared to yield.
Question 4: In Manitoba, when you approach a roundabout, what must you do?
- Speed up to merge quickly
- Stop completely and wait for a gap
- Yield to traffic already in the roundabout, then enter when safe (Correct answer)
- Enter immediately — traffic inside must yield to entering vehicles
Correct answer: Yield to traffic already in the roundabout, then enter when safe
At a roundabout, you must yield to vehicles already circulating inside the roundabout. When a safe gap appears, enter and travel counterclockwise. Do not stop inside the roundabout.
Question 5: What should you do when a traffic signal turns yellow at an intersection in Manitoba?
- Speed up to clear the intersection before red
- Stop safely if you can — proceed only if stopping would be unsafe due to proximity to the intersection (Correct answer)
- Stop immediately regardless of your position
- The yellow light has no legal meaning
Correct answer: Stop safely if you can — proceed only if stopping would be unsafe due to proximity to the intersection
A yellow light means the signal is about to turn red. You should stop safely before the intersection if possible. Proceed only if you are too close to stop safely. Entering an intersection after the light turns red is illegal.
Question 6: In Manitoba, when must you yield to pedestrians at an intersection?
- Only at marked crosswalks
- At both marked and unmarked crosswalks — every intersection has a crosswalk (Correct answer)
- Only when a crossing guard is present
- Only when the walk signal is illuminated
Correct answer: At both marked and unmarked crosswalks — every intersection has a crosswalk
In Manitoba, every intersection legally has a crosswalk, whether marked with painted lines or not. Drivers must yield to pedestrians at both marked and unmarked crosswalks at all intersections.
