Uncontrolled intersections · Keep intersections clear

Uncontrolled intersections (continued)

A yields to B: This intersection has no signs or signals and B is to the right of A. A yields to B: A would be crossing B’s path and neither is to the right of the other. When exiting from service roads, alleys, parking lots, and driveways, you must:

  • T intersection without signs or signals: vehicles A and B
    T intersection without signs or signals: vehicles A and B
  • stop before any sidewalk crossing
  • stop before entering a main street
  • yield to pedestrians.

Intersection reminders

  • A driver turning left across the path of an approaching vehicle cannot turn left until it is safe.
  • Parking lots have intersections without signs or signals, and the right-of-way rules apply.
  • All intersections have crosswalks that may be marked or unmarked and you must not pass another vehicle that has stopped for a pedestrian.
  • Uncontrolled intersection: vehicles A and B approaching
    Uncontrolled intersection: vehicles A and B approaching
  • Uncontrolled intersection: A turning left across B's path
    Uncontrolled intersection: A turning left across B's path

A yields to B: This intersection has no signs or signals and B is to the right of A. The T intersection without signs or signals (also known as an uncontrolled intersection) is a unique situation. There are no traffic control signs or signals, therefore the driver on the right (vehicle B) has the right-of-way. Be careful in this situation in case the driver going straight through (vehicle A) incorrectly assumes the right-of-way.

Keep intersections clear

Do not enter an intersection until you are able to clear it completely.

If traffic is delayed at an intersection, do not enter the intersection until you can completely clear the intersection and crosswalk on the other side.
