Several vehicles approach an all-way stop from different directions at different times. Who goes first?
- The vehicle that is travelling on the wider street
- The vehicle that is going straight ahead rather than turning left
- The vehicle that reached the intersection and stopped first
- The vehicle that has the most passengers on board
Show the answer
C. The vehicle that reached the intersection and stopped first
At an all-way stop, drivers go in the order they arrived after each makes a full stop. Street width and passenger count have no bearing on right of way.

Two cars reach an intersection with no signs or signals at about the same time from crossing streets. Who must yield?
- The driver on the right yields to the driver on the left
- The driver on the left yields to the driver on the right
- The driver who is going straight yields to one turning
- The driver in the smaller vehicle yields to the larger
Show the answer
B. The driver on the left yields to the driver on the right
At an uncontrolled intersection, when vehicles arrive at about the same time the one on the left gives way to the one on the right. Vehicle size and whether someone is turning right do not change this rule.

You are turning left on a green light (no arrow). To whom must you yield?
- Only vehicles turning right from the cross street
- No one, because the green light gives right of way
- Oncoming traffic and pedestrians in the crosswalk
- Only vehicles behind you that are going straight
Show the answer
C. Oncoming traffic and pedestrians in the crosswalk
A plain green light allows a left turn only after you yield to oncoming vehicles and to pedestrians crossing the street you are entering. The green light does not protect the turn; only a green arrow does.
