Driver's Ed: Right-of-Way

On a highway divided by a median, cars traveling on the opposite side from the stopped school bus are not required to...

Come to a complete stop, but remain attentive to children

What do you do when there are red lights and extended stop signs on a school bus?

Stop and do not pass the bus when children are not loading or unloading

Can you make a right turn on a red light?

Yes, unless there is a sign that says otherwise.

Scenario: - Intersection - You face a stop sign - The other does not face a stop sign Who gives the right away?

You do.

If you are about to enter or cross a highway from an alley, private road or highway, who gets the right-of-way?

You must give it to pedestrians and already traveling vehicles on the roadway or sidewalk you are entering/crossing.

The three most basic traffic laws require drivers to...

1. Obey traffic control devices (lights and signs). 2. Obey the traffic directions of a law enforcement officer or firefighter. 3. Never drive on a roadway that has been closed for construction.

When a bus driver is preparing to stop what will he do?

Activate flashing yellow lights

If the roadway you are traveling on is merging into other traffic without stopping, you must...

Adjust your speed and vehicle position to allow the traffic to merge.

Who do you yield to in a construction zone?

All highway maintenance vehicles and workers

When making a left turn at an intersection or into an alley or driveway, who should you yield to?

All traffic coming from the opposite direction.

Scenario: - Intersection, all drivers have stop signs What happens?

Drives yield to pedestrians; drives follow "first to arrive, first to proceed order" (same time arrival means yield to your right)

What should you do when emergency vehicles are using their emergency lights and sirens?

Move to the shoulder of the road, or if that's not possible, to as far too the right as you can.

If traffic from another roadway is merging into the roadway you are traveling on, you must...

Safely change lanes away from the merging traffic, if possible. If not, adjust your speed and vehicle position to allow the traffic to merge.

When you see flashing yellow lights on a school bus, what should you do?

Slow down and be prepared to stop; be attentive to crossing children.

What should you do when approaching a yield sign?

Slow down to a safe speed and prepare to stop, stop if necessary.

Scenario: - Intersection, no stop/yield signs/anything - Two vehicles, same time What happens?

The driver of the vehicle on the left must yield to the drive of the vehicle on the right.

At intersections with traffic control lights, what should you do?

Wait until the intersection is clear of traffic or approaching traffic before entering.

When can you make a left turn on red?

When you're on a left lane on a one way street into a one way street on which the traffic moves toward the driver's left and there are no signs that say otherwise.
