Should Left-Turning Vehicles Yield to Straight-Going Vehicles?
1 Answers
Generally, left-turning vehicles should yield to straight-going vehicles. Specific reasons: At intersections without directional traffic signals, turning vehicles must yield to straight-going vehicles. If there are traffic signals or other circumstances, the situation should be assessed accordingly. Under normal traffic rules, straight-going vehicles have the right of way. If a turning vehicle fails to yield to straight-going vehicles and causes a traffic accident, the turning vehicle will bear full responsibility. Special circumstances: Branch roads yield to trunk roads; auxiliary roads yield to main roads; vehicles at the beginning of a green light yield to those at the end; vehicles must yield when there is a 'yield' sign; roundabouts follow the 'first come, first served' rule; on the same lane, the vehicle in front goes first.
