What does 'right turn yields to left turn, left turn yields to straight' mean?
1 Answers
Right turn yields to left turn means that during road navigation, vehicles turning right should generally give way to those turning left. In case of a traffic accident, the party violating this rule bears full responsibility. Left turn yields to straight means that vehicles turning left should generally yield to those going straight, adhering to the principle of convenience. If an accident occurs, the left-turning vehicle assumes full liability. The Road Traffic Safety Implementation Regulations clearly stipulate that at uncontrolled intersections (no traffic lights or police direction), when vehicles approach from opposite directions: right-turning motor vehicles must yield to left-turning vehicles; when both proceed straight, the 'yield-to-the-right' principle applies; turning vehicles must always yield to straight-moving traffic.
