Alberta Class 7 Practice

If there is no stop line or marked crosswalk at the intersection, you must stop within three metres (10 feet) of the intersecting roadway. Stop where you will not interfere with pedestrians who are crossing or are about to cross the roadway. Three- and four-way stop intersections, where stop signs are located at all corners, are sometimes referred to as “courtesy corners”. Vehicles approaching from each direction are required to stop. All drivers must use courtesy and caution. Courtesy is to allow the vehicle that arrived first to proceed first. If two vehicles arrive at the same time, courtesy allows the vehicle on the right to proceed first. You must not proceed unless you can do so safely. Yield signs: A yield sign means that you must allow other vehicles that do not face a yield sign the right-of-way to proceed. When approaching a yield sign, reduce speed as you near the intersection and be prepared to stop. You may be required to stop and yield the right-of-way to traffic or pedestrians. Wait for a safe gap in the traffic before proceeding. If there are no pedestrians or traffic that you are required to yield to, you may proceed through the intersection without Your approach must be at a speed that allows you to stop easily to prevent a collision with another vehicle or person. Vehicle at yield sign allows other vehicle to pass.
