Must Turning Vehicles Yield to Straight-going Vehicles?
1 Answers
Turning vehicles are not always required to yield to straight-going vehicles. There are only two situations where turning must yield to straight-going. When the road has a main lane and an auxiliary lane: Roads can be divided into main lanes and auxiliary lanes. Whether going straight or turning, as long as you are driving on the auxiliary lane, you should proactively slow down and yield, or even stop, when you see vehicles on the main lane. Never force your way through. If caught by surveillance cameras, the driver on the auxiliary lane who fails to yield will face corresponding penalties. If a traffic accident occurs, the vehicle driving on the auxiliary lane, even if it needs to go straight, will bear full responsibility for the accident. When there is a yield sign: If you drive through an intersection and see an inverted triangle sign on the ground, this is actually a yield sign, reminding drivers to slow down. If vehicles are coming from other directions, the vehicles in the lane marked with the inverted triangle yield sign must slow down or even stop to yield, even if they are going straight, while vehicles in other lanes may be turning. In this case, straight-going vehicles should reasonably yield to turning vehicles. Otherwise, the driver will face corresponding penalties. If a traffic accident occurs due to failure to yield, the vehicle in the lane with the inverted triangle yield sign will bear full responsibility.
