Pedestrian/bike priority
Common pitfalls highlighted
Intersections and stop signs
Understand four-way stops, first-come, and right-hand priority.
- First-come at four-way stop
- Right-hand goes first
- Turning yields to straight
Yielding and pedestrians
Priority follows signs and pedestrian safety.
- Slow and check at yield
- Yield to pedestrians in crosswalks
- Slow down in school/special zones
Merging and turning
Left turns, right turns, and merges each have yielding rules.
- Left turn yields to oncoming
- Right on red: stop then go
- Check before merging
