Should a left-turning vehicle yield to a right-turning vehicle, or vice versa?
1 Answers
Right-turning vehicles must yield to left-turning vehicles. Regulations for the Implementation of the Road Traffic Safety Law: Article 52, Clause 4 of the 'Regulations for the Implementation of the Road Traffic Safety Law' stipulates that when motor vehicles pass through an intersection without traffic signal control or traffic police command, the following rules shall be observed: right-turning vehicles from the opposite direction must yield to left-turning vehicles. Reason for yielding: Right-turning vehicles yield to left-turning vehicles because a right turn is a small turn, and stopping at the roadside does not affect the normal flow of other vehicles. A left turn is a large turn. If a vehicle yields at the intersection, it stops in the middle of the intersection, which would affect the normal flow of vehicles from all three other directions.
