Intersections Can Be Tricky

Busy intersections often have multiple lanes, signals, and signs. Understanding how to safely navigate them is key to becoming a confident driver.

Steps for Success

• Observe All Signals: Pay attention to traffic lights, arrows, and signs.
• Use Proper Lanes: Be in the correct lane for your intended direction (left, right, or straight).
• Watch for Pedestrians and Cyclists: Always yield to them.
• Check Blind Spots: Look for vehicles that may not be visible in your mirrors.
• Be Patient: Wait for a safe gap in traffic before proceeding.

Example Scenario

Approaching a large intersection with separate turn lanes, you check your mirrors, signal, and wait for the green arrow before making your left turn.
