Manitoba Class 5 Learner's Driving Test Intersections and Yielding 2

Question 1

What does a flashing red light at a Manitoba intersection mean?

Accepted Answer

Treat it as a stop sign — come to a complete stop and proceed when safe

Answer

A flashing red light has the same meaning as a stop sign. You must come to a complete stop, yield to cross traffic and pedestrians, and proceed only when it is safe to do so.

Question 2

What does a flashing yellow light at an intersection mean in Manitoba?

Accepted Answer

Proceed with caution — the intersection is not controlled by a standard signal

Answer

A flashing yellow light means proceed with caution. You do not need to stop, but you must slow down and be aware that cross traffic may have a flashing red (stop) signal.

Question 3

In Manitoba, what must you do when turning right on a red light and a pedestrian is crossing?

Accepted Answer

Wait until the pedestrian has completely finished crossing before making your turn

Answer

When turning right on red, you must yield to all pedestrians in the crosswalk. Wait until the pedestrian has fully cleared your path before proceeding. Turning behind or near a pedestrian is dangerous and illegal.

Question 4

At a T-intersection in Manitoba, which road has the right-of-way?

Accepted Answer

The through road has priority — traffic on the terminating road must yield

Answer

At a T-intersection, vehicles on the through road (the top of the 'T') have the right-of-way. Vehicles on the terminating road (the stem of the 'T') must yield or stop before entering the through road.

Question 5

In Manitoba, what should you do if you enter an intersection on a green light but cannot clear it before the light turns red due to traffic ahead?

Accepted Answer

You should not have entered — you must not enter an intersection unless you can clear it

Answer

Manitoba law prohibits entering an intersection unless you can clear it completely. Blocking an intersection is dangerous and illegal, as it prevents cross traffic from proceeding when their light turns green.
