Which car has the right of way? Not many people know!
Do you have the answer to this question?
When you’ve been on the road for a long time, driving becomes an extremely familiar habit. You may think that you already know how to behave in most situations, and that you’ve already encountered all the problems of the road. But let’s put this assumption to the test with an example from a real-life driving test.
Examining the provided image, we can observe a traffic scenario at a T-intersection. In this situation, a pink car is heading towards the intersection, accompanied by a yellow car approaching from the right and a blue car from the left. The intentions of each vehicle are as follows: the pink car intends to make a left turn, the blue car plans to proceed straight, and the yellow car also wishes to make a left turn. Don’t forget to take into account all the signs, traffic lights and other conditions that may influence this traffic situation.

The correct answer
In general, at a T-intersection where three vehicles are approaching, the right of way is typically granted to the vehicle on the through road, which is the one without the need to make a turn. In this scenario, the blue car that wants to go straight would have the right of way. After the blue car, the right of way would typically be granted to the pink car that wants to turn left. In most jurisdictions, left-turning vehicles generally yield to oncoming traffic unless there is a specific traffic signal or signage indicating otherwise.
- The blue car, which intends to go straight, usually has the right of way at the T-intersection as it is on the through road and doesn’t need to make a turn.
- After the blue car, the pink car, which wants to turn left, would typically have the right of way. Left-turning vehicles generally yield to oncoming traffic, unless there is a specific traffic signal or signage indicating otherwise.
- The yellow car, which also wants to turn left, would typically yield to both the blue car and the pink car.

Can you provide the answer to this question?
Examining the provided image, we can observe a traffic scenario at a four-way intersection. A red car is approaching the intersection, accompanied by a motorcycle from the opposite side, a green truck from the right, and a white bus from the left. The red car wants to turn left, while the motorcyclist wishes to go straight. The green truck and the white bus both aim to go straight as well. Considering general right-of-way rules, determine which vehicle, as depicted in the image, typically has the right of way in this four-way intersection situation.

The right answer
In this given scenario, we have a four-way intersection with a red car, a motorcyclist, a green truck, and a white bus approaching from different directions. The intentions of each vehicle are as follows: the red car wants to make a left turn, the motorcyclist intends to go straight, and both the green truck and the white bus want to proceed straight as well.
In general, the determination of right of way at a four-way intersection is guided by traffic laws and regulations specific to the jurisdiction. However, following common right-of-way principles, we can assess the situation as follows:
- The motorcyclist, who intends to go straight, usually has the right of way. Motorcycles are considered vehicles and are granted the same right-of-way privileges as other vehicles proceeding straight through an intersection.
- After the motorcyclist, the green truck and the white bus, both desiring to go straight, typically follow the right-of-way rules for vehicles on the through road. The specific right-of-way rules may vary depending on local regulations, but generally, the vehicle that arrives first or the vehicle on the right is granted the right of way.
- Consequently, the red car, wanting to make a left turn, would typically yield to oncoming traffic, including the motorcyclist, green truck, and white bus. It is customary for left-turning vehicles to yield to all oncoming traffic to ensure a safe flow of vehicles through the intersection.
Do you know the answer to this question?
When you have been traveling for a long time, driving gradually becomes an extremely familiar habit. You may think you already know how to behave in most situations and have already encountered all the problems on the road. But let’s test this assumption with an example from a real driving test.
Look at the image above. A red car is approaching an intersection, as is a green bus. The green bus wants to turn left, while the red car wants to go straight ahead. Which of the two vehicles has the right of way? Don’t forget that you must take into consideration all the signals, traffic lights, and other conditions that may affect this traffic situation.
If you have already chosen an answer and want to check if you are right, click on the next page! There we will give you the right answer.
The correct answer
Which of the two vehicles now has the right of way and can proceed without waiting for the other? If you guessed the bus, you’re right! Look at the white sign above the traffic light: it indicates that the bus has priority over other traffic when turning.
