California Car / Permit practice question · Right-of-Way
At a T-intersection without signs or signals, who has the right-of-way?
Answer choices
- Traffic on the through road— Correct answer
- The driver on the ending road
- Whoever is turning left
- The larger vehicle
Why this is the answer
At a T intersection with no STOP or YIELD signs, traffic on the through road, the one continuing straight, has the right-of-way. Drivers on the road that ends must wait. Vehicle size and turning left do not change that. The same rule applies to vehicles, bicyclists, and pedestrians who are going straight along the through road.
