You can get stuck and the breaks can break and you have no where to go
If you reach an uncontrolled intersection at close to the same time, the vehicle who actually reached the intersection last is the driver who must yield the right of way. If you reach the intersection at the same time, the driver on the left should yield the right of way.
In driving, the term "intersection" refers to the point where two or more roads meet or cross each other. It is a crucial area where drivers must be cautious and follow traffic rules to safely navigate through the crossing roads.
The average red light time at an intersection is typically around 20-30 seconds. This allows enough time for vehicles to come to a stop and for cross traffic to safely proceed through the intersection.
There isn't one in most states including California. An urban legend...just like driving with no shoes on
she sped through the intersection like a maniac!
Controlled intersections have traffic lights, yield signs or stop signs to control traffic. At a controlled intersection where you face a green light, drive carefully through the intersection at a steady speed. If the light has been green for a while, be prepared to stop when it turns yellow. However, if you are already so close that you cannot stop safely, drive through the intersection with caution. Where you face a red light, come to a complete stop and wait until the light turns green. When you approach an intersection on a main road, and the intersection is blocked with traffic, stop before entering the intersection and wait until the traffic ahead moves on. This does not apply if you are turning left or right. At a controlled intersection where you face a yield sign, slow down or stop if necessary and wait until the way is clear before driving through the intersection. At a controlled intersection where you face a stop sign, come to a complete stop. Drive through the intersection only when the way is clear (Diagram 2-15).
I don't have an answer, just a question. When I was out driving in my vehicle, I came to a 4-way stop. I waited for my turn. The vehicle that had the right of way proceeded through the intersection. there was a cyclist behind the vehicle and it also proceeded through the intersection immediately after the vehicle. My question is shouldn't the cyclist waited until I went through the intersection since it was my turn? do cyclists not follow the same rules as vehicles if they are actually on the road and not in the bike lane? thanks
When a traffic signal turns green at an intersection and you are going straight through, you must proceed with caution and yield to any pedestrians or vehicles already in the intersection.
