Understanding Right-of-Way

What is Right-of-Way?

Right-of-way determines who goes first and who waits at intersections, crosswalks, and other traffic situations. It prevents confusion and accidents by setting clear rules for all road users.

Common Right-of-Way Scenarios

  • Intersections without Signs: Yield to the car on your right.
  • Stop Signs: First come, first go, but if two cars arrive at the same time, the car on the right goes first.
  • Pedestrian Crosswalks: Always yield to pedestrians.
  • Turning Left: Yield to oncoming traffic.
  • Emergency Vehicles: Always pull over and let them pass.

Why It Matters

Knowing when to yield or proceed keeps traffic flowing and prevents crashes. If in doubt, yield!

Examples

  • At a four-way stop, you arrive at the same time as another driver to your right; you let them go first.

  • You stop and wait for a pedestrian to cross the street at a marked crosswalk.

In a Nutshell

Right-of-way rules tell drivers and pedestrians who should go first to keep everyone safe.
