Under what circumstances should a straight-going vehicle yield to a turning vehicle?
1 Answers
Circumstances where a straight-going vehicle should yield to a turning vehicle are as follows: If the driver encounters a yield sign while driving, even when entering the intersection in a straight-going manner, they must yield to vehicles merging or turning from other intersections; At intersections with traffic lights, if the right-side vehicle's direction has turned red, but vehicles within the intersection have not completely passed through, and the straight-going lane on this side has a green light, the vehicles that entered the intersection first should be allowed to proceed; For vehicles exiting from the main road to the auxiliary road, compared to vehicles traveling on the auxiliary road, their right-side blind spots are larger due to the obstruction of the main-auxiliary road divider, making it difficult to observe the path of auxiliary road vehicles. Additionally, although the speed of vehicles exiting the main road is decreasing, it remains relatively high, which can easily lead to severe traffic accidents. Therefore, auxiliary road vehicles must yield to main road vehicles; On urban main roads, some auxiliary road entrances merging into the main road will have merging lanes with turning guides, and there will also be corresponding guide lanes before the entrance to direct main road vehicles to yield to vehicles entering from the front. If a vehicle proceeds straight into the guide lane and collides with an auxiliary road vehicle turning into the main road, the vehicle that entered the guide lane will bear full responsibility; When traveling in the same direction, the vehicle in front has the right of way over the vehicle behind. Therefore, whether the front vehicle is turning or making a U-turn, it has priority over the straight-going vehicle behind. According to the Road Traffic Safety Law, when the front vehicle is turning left or making a U-turn, the rear vehicle is prohibited from overtaking.
