Question

At an intersection with a 4-way stop, (1 point) Responses the vehicle making a left turn has the right of way. the vehicle making a left turn has the right of way. the vehicle going the fastest has the right of way. the vehicle going the fastest has the right of way. the vehicle making a right turn has the right of way. the vehicle making a right turn has the right of way. the vehicle traveling straight has the right of way.

Answer 1

At a 4-way stop, the general rule is that the vehicle that arrives first at the intersection has the right of way. If two vehicles arrive at the same time, the vehicle on the right has the right of way. Therefore, none of the statements provided are completely accurate regarding right of way:

1. The vehicle making a left turn does not inherently have the right of way.
2. The vehicle going the fastest does not have the right of way.
3. The vehicle making a right turn does not inherently have the right of way, unless it’s already yielded to other vehicles.
4. The vehicle traveling straight does not inherently have the right of way unless it arrived first or is to the right of another vehicle.

In summary, the correct approach is to determine who arrived first and to follow the right-hand rule.
