Intersections controlled by signs (continued)
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.
Uncontrolled intersections
Some intersections have no traffic signs and no traffic signal lights. At these intersections, you must yield the right-of-way to a vehicle on your right. Check for traffic approaching from your left and right when you are approaching an intersection without a traffic control device. Similar to an intersection controlled by a stop sign, adjust your speed to the visibility and road conditions. Your view may be obstructed by fences, trees, or parked cars. You must reduce your speed enough to be able to stop your vehicle easily. When road conditions are slippery, reduce your speed to allow for the increased stopping distance.
Use caution and judgement at all intersections without signs or signals. Even if you have the right-of-way, be sure the other vehicle is going to yield before you proceed.
