Should the Downhill Vehicle Yield to the Uphill Vehicle?
1 Answers
It depends on the situation. The yielding rules for vehicles meeting on a slope are determined based on actual conditions. Below are the yielding rules for slopes: Downhill vehicles yield to uphill vehicles: On roads without central barriers or clearly marked centerlines, uphill vehicles have the right of way. If a downhill vehicle fails to yield to an uphill vehicle and an accident occurs, the downhill vehicle that did not yield will bear full responsibility for the accident. Uphill vehicles yield to downhill vehicles: If a downhill vehicle is already in the process of descending and an uphill vehicle has just entered the ascending section, the vehicle that has just entered the ascending section must yield to the vehicle already descending. Additional information: The yielding rules for slopes are essentially the same as the yielding rules for obstacles ahead, following the principle of "first come, first served." The vehicle that enters the section first has the right of way, while the vehicle that has not yet entered or has just entered must yield.
