At a crossroads, yielding to either left or right turns when going straight is not in compliance with regulations. The correct yielding rules and related regulations are as follows: Correct yielding rules: The correct yielding rule is that turning vehicles must yield to straight-going vehicles. When straight-going vehicles encounter turning vehicles, it is the turning vehicles that must yield to the straight-going ones, not the other way around. If a traffic accident occurs because a turning vehicle fails to yield to a straight-going vehicle, the turning vehicle will bear full responsibility. Other related yielding regulations: If there are traffic signs or markings, yield to the party with the right of way; in the absence of traffic signs or markings, stop and look before entering the intersection and yield to vehicles coming from the right; for vehicles coming from opposite directions, right-turning motor vehicles must yield to left-turning vehicles.
