California Driver License (DMV) Written Practice Test

At an uncontrolled 4-way intersection, who has the right-of-way?

1. Vehicles turning left

2. All vehicles

3. Vehicles turning right

4. The vehicle in the intersection

The correct answer is: The vehicle in the intersection

At an uncontrolled 4-way intersection, all vehicles must yield to the vehicle already in the intersection. This is because the vehicle that is already in the intersection has established its place and must be allowed to continue safely through the intersection before another vehicle enters. Vehicles turning left do not have the right-of-way, as they must yield to oncoming traffic. Likewise, vehicles turning right must yield to both oncoming traffic and any vehicles that are in the intersection. All vehicles must also yield to pedestrians and cyclists when they are crossing the intersection. It is important for drivers to follow the rules of the road and properly yield to vehicles who have the right-of-way in order to ensure safe and efficient traffic flow.
