Intersections An intersection is where two or more roadways meet, creating a possible conflict between vehicles on those roads and with pedestrians crossing the roadways. These are high-risk locations for collisions. Intersections may be controlled by traffic signs, traffic signal lights, or both. Intersections not controlled by signs or signals are controlled by rules and regulations. To drive safely through controlled and uncontrolled intersections, you must know the rules and regulations that determine who has the right-of-way. Always be careful. Other drivers may not be paying attention to the signs and signals, or may be unaware of the rules at intersections without signs or signals. Note: For information about traffic signs and traffic signals, refer to Chapter 2. Directions given by a peace officer or police officer must be followed over traffic signs or signals.Text extracted from the PDF for reference and may contain layout artefacts.
