Should Left-Turning Vehicles Yield to Straight-Going Vehicles?
1 Answers
Left-turning vehicles should yield to straight-going vehicles. The situation where straight-going vehicles yield to turning vehicles applies to secondary roads yielding to main roads: In urban areas, the traffic volume on main roads is relatively high. Generally, main roads have priority. Therefore, if the secondary road is a straight lane and the main road involves turning vehicles, vehicles on the secondary road should yield to turning vehicles on the main road. If an accident occurs due to the secondary road vehicle not yielding, the secondary road vehicle, even if going straight, will bear full responsibility. Intersections with yield signs: These signs are usually placed at the junctions between secondary roads and main roads. Their primary purpose is to remind secondary road vehicles to yield to turning vehicles on the main road. Yield signs are further divided into two types: stop signs and slow-down signs. If a driver encounters a yield sign at an intersection, they must observe the main road traffic and only proceed into the intersection after confirming it is safe.
