How to Navigate an Intersection Without Traffic Signals?
2 Answers
For vehicles traveling in opposite directions, those turning right should yield to those turning left. The specific rules are as follows: 1. Specific Rules: If there are traffic signs or markings, yield to the party with the right of way; if there are no traffic signs or markings, stop and look before entering the intersection, yielding to vehicles coming from the right; turning vehicles must yield to vehicles going straight; for vehicles traveling in opposite directions, those turning right should yield to those turning left. 2. Timely Use of Turn Signals: When passing through an intersection without traffic signals or police direction, motor vehicles should adhere to: vehicles preparing to enter a roundabout must yield to those already in the intersection; when turning left, turn from the left side of the intersection center point. Always use turn signals when turning, and switch to low beams when driving at night.
Yesterday, while delivering goods, I encountered this situation at an intersection without traffic lights. We truck drivers all understand that yielding to the main road is a basic principle. For example, vehicles coming out of alleys must wait for the traffic on the main road to pass. If the size of the two roads is unclear, then look to the right—the vehicle on the right has the right of way. The safest approach is to slow down to a speed where you can stop at any moment, roll down the window to listen for sounds, and be especially cautious of electric scooters suddenly darting out. I usually hover my foot over the brake as I approach the intersection, having seen too many collision cases at intersections during repairs.
