What does yielding in oncoming traffic mean?
1 Answers
Yielding in oncoming traffic means that when vehicles meet, one must stop to let the other vehicle pass first. Below is extended information on oncoming traffic techniques: 1. Observe surrounding vehicle conditions: This includes assessing the type, speed, and load of the oncoming vehicle, the width and condition of the road ahead, the presence of pedestrians and other vehicles, parked cars, and obstacles. 2. Estimate safe distance: By observing and comparing, estimate the approximate positions of both vehicles when they meet, the road space occupied, to leave an appropriate lateral safety gap. 3. Reduce speed: Slow down when encountering oncoming traffic. If conditions are poor as you approach the meeting point, further control your speed. Do not blindly proceed with the meeting; if necessary, stop first to achieve a smooth passage for both vehicles.
