Should Right Turns Yield to Left Turns?
1 Answers
When vehicles are traveling in opposite directions, right-turning vehicles should yield to left-turning vehicles. Precautions for right turns: Slow down and move into the right-turn lane. Near intersections, bus lanes and right-turn lanes often merge into one. Turn on the right turn signal and reduce speed to below 20 km/h. This speed is the foundation for safe right turns. After slowing to below 20 km/h, shift to second gear and release the accelerator. Right-of-way rules for right turns: When there are traffic signs or markings, yield to the party with priority; when 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; right-turning vehicles traveling in opposite directions must yield to left-turning vehicles.
