What does 'yield to the right' mean?
1 Answers
The 'yield to the right' rule stipulates that when a motor vehicle passes through an intersection without traffic lights or police command, it should stop to observe the situation before proceeding. If there are vehicles approaching from the right lane, the vehicle on the right should be given the right of way first. Motor vehicle traffic regulations: Article 44: On roads with two or more motor vehicle lanes in the same direction, the left lane is the fast lane, and the right lane is the slow lane. Motor vehicles driving in the fast lane should maintain the speed specified for the fast lane. If they cannot reach the specified speed, they should move to the slow lane. Motorcycles should drive in the farthest right lane. If there are traffic signs indicating speed, drivers should follow the indicated speed. When a vehicle in the slow lane overtakes the vehicle in front, it may temporarily use the fast lane. Exceptions to the 'yield to the right' principle: On highway acceleration lanes, auxiliary roads, and ramps, vehicles on the main road have priority because the main road has higher traffic volume and speed. Following the 'yield to the right' principle in these areas would significantly reduce traffic efficiency and increase the risk of accidents, so the principle does not apply here. At intersections, vehicles turning right must yield to vehicles going straight, and right-turning vehicles must not obstruct the passage of straight-going vehicles.
