- At a stop sign with no stop line or crosswalk marking, stop within 3 m of the intersection
- Uncontrolled intersection: yield to the vehicle on your right; at an uncontrolled T-intersection, the through road does NOT automatically have right-of-way — simultaneous arrivals still yield to the right
- 3-/4-way stop signs: first to arrive goes first; simultaneous arrivals yield to the right
- Get into the correct turning lane at least 15 m before the intersection; when turning right, stay within 1 m of the curb
- U-turns: banned everywhere at a signal-controlled intersection (unless a device permits it) or wherever a sign prohibits it; rural areas additionally ban them on curves or near a blind hill crest (where a car 150 m away in either direction can't see you); urban areas additionally ban them mid-block, at an alley, or at a parking-lot/private-road entrance
- In a roundabout, traffic always flows counterclockwise; yield to vehicles already circulating; in a two-lane roundabout, the right lane enters/exits via the right lane only (same for left), and inside the circle the right lane yields to the left; never change lanes inside a roundabout; signal right only once you're about to exit
- Merging onto a highway: neither the merging vehicle nor traffic already on the highway has an inherent right-of-way — merging is a shared responsibility
- While waiting to turn left at a red light, keep your wheels pointed straight, not already turned — so a rear-end collision doesn't push you into oncoming traffic
Two cars arrive together: car 1 (on the right) goes first, car 2 yields.
Traffic inside a roundabout always flows counterclockwise; yield (at the red triangle) to vehicles already circulating before entering.
Knowledge points and examples
Stop, yield, uncontrolled-intersection, and conflicting-traffic priority rules
An 'uncontrolled intersection':
An uncontrolled intersection has no traffic signals, stop signs, or yield signs.
At a 4-way stop, who goes first?
At a 4-way stop, the first vehicle to arrive and stop goes first.
Turn legality, signals, lane position, protected versus unprotected turns, and U-turns
Which best describes the steps for turning right at a red traffic light?
To turn right on red: signal, check for prohibiting signs, stop completely, look both ways, yield, then proceed.
When turning left from a two-way road onto a one-way road, enter:
Turn into the lane nearest the left curb on the one-way road.
Roundabout entry, circulation, lane selection, signalling, and exit rules
In a roundabout, traffic flows:
In North American roundabouts, traffic always flows counterclockwise (to the right).
When exiting a roundabout, you should:
Signal right when you are ready to exit the roundabout.
Entry from private roads, merge responsibility, gap selection, and acceleration-lane interaction
When a vehicle is merging from an acceleration lane on your right:
Move to the left lane if safe, or adjust speed to allow a smooth merge.
A vehicle exiting a parking lot:
A vehicle exiting a parking lot must always come to a complete stop.
Intersection sight lines, scanning, queue clearance, and blocked-view approach
Blocking an intersection is:
Never enter an intersection unless you can completely clear it — blocking is illegal.
Before entering an intersection on a green light, you should look:
Even on green, look left-right-left to check for vehicles or pedestrians who may not have stopped.
