Right-of-Way in Residential Neighborhoods - Right-of-Way Part 1
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 15 апр 2020
- Right-of-Way rules are in place to help drivers determine who has the immediate use of the road. In other words, it helps drivers figure out who has the right to go, and who has to yield or stop. Right-of-Way rules can get pretty complicated when you start considering all of the different types of driving scenarios. In part 1 of our Right-of-Way series, Micah simplifies how Right-of-Way works in residential neighborhoods. Join him as he breaks down the rules for entering traffic, different types of intersections, dealing with pedestrians, and more.

Finally, I found the right-of-way video that is actually helpful! Thank you so much!
Glad it helped! Thanks!
Ive watched 6 videos before this one, And this one really helped me Understand even better. Why didn't this video popup first ;/ TY
Ha! Thanks for the feedback, we do agree that this is a good video to watch early on in your training! Micah does a nice job of breaking down the basic right of way rules in residential.

Thank you Suz!
Thank you very much, I rarely comment, but I find this information useful.
It's our pleasure Aline, thank you so much for that kind comment!
Hey, loved the video! Really made this easy to understand unlike what i’ve been trying to study, thanks so much 🙏🏽 I did have a question though, if lets say 3 cars arrive at an all-way stop the same time, how does the yielding to the car on the right, or across rules get affected?
Excellent question, thank you! In a situation where 3 or 4 cars arrive at the intersection at the exact same time and everyone has a car to the right, then it all comes down to courtesy. We always teach to NEVER INSIST on the right of way. Using eye contact, head nods, and friendly hand gestures can help establish who goes first. For example, give a friendly wave to the car across from you, letting them know they can go and that you'll yield to them. Likewise, if they wave to you first, gesturing for you to go ahead, then kindly accept their courteous gesture towards you. Of course, always double check with the other traffic and only proceed to go if it is safe to do so. At the end of the day, be patient and make sure drivers from all directions are on the same page before you enter the intersection. We hope that helps!
Thanks again for you kind words and support!
Very nice video thanks
Thanks A K!

Thanks Rose!
Very good instructor love you be happy.
Many many thanks for the support!
@@DriversEdDirect.
You are most welcome dear instructor.
I am new here in New york State,I got my permit and 5 hour pre licensing completion certificate.
I never drove in my own country,one of US instructors is teaching me how to drive.
I love to watch of all your videos,they are very helpful for me,the way you are explaining is very interesting for me.
Thank you so much for all of your nice videos.
An uncontrolled intersection with no stop signs or from four directions is treated as an all-way stop but when there is only one way to turn for instance at 3:57 or 5:24 you yield if you turn left. It's also like that if there are two stop signs in an intersection and then there are two sides where there is no stops. For instance, the cars without a stop sign can advance but if one of them is turning left even if they arrived first but yield to the other car because it messes with their flow of traffic.
Thank you for the feedback, we really appreciate your interest in our videos! Everyone remember that “controlled intersections” have traffic signs or devices regulating traffic, and that “uncontrolled intersections” do not have traffic signs or devices. Also keep in mind that right of way rules can vary from residential streets to major streets.

What about a pedestrian in a in a parking lot who's directly ahead of you And you're simply on a bicycle ands no chance for a collision do you have to stop???
Hello and thanks for asking! If you're operating a bicycle in a parking lot and encounter a pedestrian, you should yield for them IF your riding past them would endanger them or impede the progress of the pedestrian. If you wouldn't impede their progress and it is safe to pass them, then go for it!
I truly appreciate the explanation as well as the visuals and 'orange' right away sign beside each car, thanks.
New to California question, in the driving test are we doing parallel parking as I read mixed reviews about this?
Hello! Thanks you for the kind words and support! While I have heard of people having to parallel park on the CA drive test, it is very rare and I have never personally had a student at my driving school who was tested on it (and I'm talking about tens of thousands of students). Here is a video that may help you pass the test: ruclips.net/video/m7h5bLIIoNI/видео.html Best of luck to you!!
@@DriversEdDirect thanks, I'm binge watching your videos so saw this one, just finished watching Liz with the pre- drive test. My test isn't until the end of May but still getting as much info and practice as I can🤣😅

I was watching this all your videos I learned so much from this videos thank you so much, just little nervous so I just need little more help from you pls witch DMV is for driving test ?
Hello Soma! Thank you for the kind words. We usually recommend using the DMV that is nearest your home because you will be most familiar with the streets and traffic in that area. Whichever DMV you go to, make sure you drive around that area prior to your test to get a good idea of the speed limits, intersections, and traffic situation. We hope that helps!
Witch DMV is good for driving test near Encino CA
Hello again, Soma! Per my last message, we usually recommend using the DMV that is nearest your home because you will be most familiar with the streets and traffic in that area. If you live in Encino, then the DMV I would recommend is the Winnetka DMV - the area is near you and that is a good DMV, the examiners there are very fair. Here's a blog post with some tips about testing at the Winnetka DMV, hope it helps you out! www.trafficschool.com/traffic-school-answers/Driving-School/DMV-Drive-Test/How-to-pass/Winnetka-DMV/?question=How%2Dto%2Dpass%2Dthe%2Dlicense%2Dtest%2Dat%2Dthe%2DWinnetka%2DDMV
Hi thank you so much for these clear instructions. Love your soothing voice . Please make more videos .
I have a question, when you arrive at a 4way stop same time , let’s say
1. the car on right who has the right of way is turning left and I turn right ... do I have to wait until the other car clear the intersection
2. If the car on the opposite side arrive at the same time and is going straight , do I have to wait until I’m clear that he is going straight ?
In other words , when is it safe to proceed when another car arrives at the same time in a 2way or4way stop ?
Hope you reply soon as my test is next week . Thanks a million !
Hello, thank you for the kind words! Here are answers to your questions:
1. When you arrive at a 4way stop at the same time and the car on right who has the right of way is turning left and I turn right ... do I have to wait until the other car clear the intersection?
Answer ::: If you are turning right and the car to your right is turning left, then it should be safe for you to both turn at the same time and you do not need to wait for them to clear the intersection. However, if your turn will possibly impede the other car’s progress (maybe a very narrow road or something), then you should yield to the car on the right and let them make their turn first.
This graphic attempts to explain your situation:
www.driverseddirect.com/img/lessons/residential-2-cars-turn-same-time-example.jpg
2. If the car on the opposite side arrives at the same time and is going straight, do I have to wait until I’m clear that he is going straight? In other words, when is it safe to proceed when another car arrives at the same time in a 2way or 4way stop?
Answer ::: In this situation, if they are going straight and you are also going straight (or you are making a right turn), then you SHOULD both be able to go at the same time. However, you do need to proceed with caution and make 100% sure the other car is indeed going straight. They may be turning left and forgot to put their turn signal indicator on.
Thanks for the thoughtful questions, you are going to do great on your drive test. You got this!
Thank u.❤❤❤
You're welcome 😊
At 5:36 regarding an unmarked "Uncontrolled T intersection" without a Yield sign. I believe what is stated re: cars on the "top" of the T have right of way is in fact the correct legal interpretation of the rules of the road but I cannot find anywhere in the lawbooks that defines this! In fact all I can find is information that seems contradictory (for the state of WA where I am at least).
My state indicates that:
- An intersection is where the "lines of the roadways of two or more highways (i.e. every way, lane, road, street, boulevard) which join one another at, or approximately at, right angles" (e.g. a 4-way stop or T Intersection).
-"When two vehicles approach or enter an intersection from different highways at approximately the same time, the driver of the vehicle on the LEFT shall yield the right-of-way to the vehicle on the right"
This would be contrary to what you state in the video even though I believe your video to be correct.
I only ask as I was almost in an accident yesterday because I was driving on a very wide road that would be the "bottom" of the T and attempting to enter a road that was the "top" of the T . I slowed to a near stop and checked for any oncoming cars and then slowly turned close to the curb of the very wide road opening to the "top" of the T. Also, the road that is the top of the T has enough of a grade in which I could not see all the way down and another car (that was clearly going too fast but that is irrelevant in this case) appeared from below the grade, zoomed through the intersection and nearly crashed into the BACK driver's side quarter panel of my car (but not the Rear of the car).
While the area of my car the other driver almost hit sort of indicates that the car driving on the "top" of the T could have been at fault as I must have "arrived at the intersection first" (because it nearly rear ended me instead of hitting my side) I think think a case could be made that I did not "give right of way" to the "though road". This was on a totally unmarked residential road with no Yields sings or Yellow Triangle T signs which seems to imply the legalese above that it was was simply a regular uncontrolled intersection in the shape of a T and therefore the car on the LEFT needs to Yield to the car on the RIGHT.
Confusing that right of way basically flips backwards when an intersection has only 3 roads intersect instead of 4 and the city should honestly put up a Yield sign on one of these roads simply because of poor visibility so at least one of us would know who has right of way when the law is so vague.
Hello! That is confusing, it does not appear the state of Washington has a specific provision for unmarked/uncontrolled T-intersections or what Californai legislature calls “terminating highways” . In California, T-intersections (terminating highways) are covered in CVC 21800 b:
When two vehicles enter an intersection from different highways at the same time, the driver of the vehicle on the left shall yield the right-of-way to the vehicle on his or her immediate right, except that the driver of any vehicle on a terminating highway shall yield the right-of-way to any vehicle on the intersecting continuing highway.
(2) For the purposes of this section, “terminating highway” means a highway which intersects, but does not continue beyond the intersection, with another highway which does continue beyond the intersection.

Thanks for sharing!
@@DriversEdDirect the best I could find for Washington was from their Official Driving Handbook and it states "Drivers entering the roadway from a driveway, alley, parking lot or roadside must yield to vehicles already on the main road." So I am presuming from now on that the bottom of the T is a "roadside" when it adjourns another road.
Still gonna petition the city to put up a sign somewhere to cut down on the ambiguity as neither road are arterials.
If there is a car parked in the street of a 2 lane road obstructing a lane and 2 vehicles are coming from opposite directions, who is supposed to stop and yelid? The person with the clear lane or the person with the obstructed lane?
In my neighborhood people think they have right of way when there is a car parked and their lane and love to almost run in to me head on. Iva always been curious what would happen if they do hit me
Great question! You have the right of way if you are in your established lane of travel. The other vehicle (the one who has to maneuver around the obstruction) should always yield to you in the situation you described. In the event of an accident, all things being equal (and it was determined that you had been driving defensively), the other driver would be at fault.
However, most accidents aren't that cut and dry, and you'll often find that the insurance claims adjusters will split the fault between all parties involved. For example, even though you have the legal right of way, you are supposed to forfeit it if doing so would prevent a collision. In other words, if you willfully try to force your right of way and it results in a collision, you may be found at fault.
Always be willing to forfeit your right of way if someone else insists on taking it. Not only will you be the bigger person, you'll go home safely at the end of the day!
Thanks for the question, it's a good one and one I'm sure many people have themselves. Stay safe out there!
@@DriversEdDirect well put! Thank you for the detailed reply!
What do you do if all four cars arrive at a 4-way stop at the same time, with all wanting to go straight ahead? Then it's like.. the most aggressive driver goes first to break the chain!
Thanks for the question, it's a good one! When 4 cars arrive at the intersection at the exact same time, then we have to rely on common courtesy. As you hinted, an aggressive driver may just assume the right of way and go for it. However, we always teach to never insist on the right of way. Instead, use eye contact, head nods, and friendly gestures to help establish who goes first. For example, give a nice wave to the vehicle across from you, letting them know they can go first and that you'll wait for them. Likewise, if they wave to you first, gesturing for you to go first, then safely accept their courteous gesture. When you do go, always double check with the other traffic to make sure everyone "is on the same page" and only proceed to go if it is safe to do so.
Hopefully that helps! Thanks again and please stay safe out there.
Are the self driving vehicles still in use? No deaths recorded
missed my driving exam today because of the Right of way I didn't respected, guys pay atention to these, I will work on it to pass it next exam Inchallah
Hello, so sorry to hear you did not pass BUT thanks so much for sharing your story! That's great advice to future test takers... definitely need to know your right of way rules like the back of your hand. Please let us know how your next test goes, you can do it!!
Hi good video, do you know of a similar resource for Florida rules
Studying out of the manual does not work very well...
Dry and boring does not stick lol
Hello! We don't have any Florida specific resources, but most of the traffic rules discussed here apply to all states. Take care!
How are we meant to remember all this, my brain hurts 😭😅
You can do it, just ice your forehead and keep studying! :)
At a 4 way stop, if a car to my right is turning left while I’m going straight, who has the right of way? We both arrived to the stop sign at the same time.
Hello, great question! If two cars arrive at the exact same time at an all-way stop, then the car to the right always has the right-of-way, even if they are turning. Hope that helps!!
So 3:59 is not considered an uncontrolled intersection and if you're turning left you must yield even if there no stop sign or red light.
Thank you for the feedback, we really appreciate your interest in our videos! Everyone remember that “controlled intersections” have traffic signs or devices regulating traffic, and that “uncontrolled intersections” do not have traffic signs or devices. Also keep in mind that right of way rules can vary from residential streets to major streets. You can check out our video on right of way rules for major streets here: ruclips.net/video/2CXnQmudiD0/видео.html
What if i have the right away and the car has the stop sign but they stop and did not see me comimg but they also had traffic blocking their View and I did not see them at the stop sign. Who's at fault?
Hello! That's a tough one without knowing all of the exact details. In general, if you had the right of way and there were no other factors involved, the other driver would be at fault. However, in many collisions there is some level of shared-fault with both drivers being partially responsible, then the questions becomes who was more at fault. For example, a driver might have the legal right of way, but they may also be partially to blame if they were were distracted or speeding and contributed to the collision too. Thankfully the insurance adjusters usually do a thorough investigation and come up with a fair assessment of the situation. Hope that helps!
Can you tell me in a residential area with no clear line separation, If I am driving and there is car parked towards my right and while I am passing it, I shift slightly to myleft to make room. There is another car coming towards me from other end. The other car has no car parked to his right. So the other car has space to his right, but if the other car still comes closer to me and hits my car in the body (not the front end) , does the other car say it is right of way and claim it is my mistake?
Hello! In those situations it is very hard to determine who had the right of way without being there. Many times in these types of situations there is some shared fault where both drivers would be considered responsible for the collision. It sounds like, given your description, that everyone needed to slow down and exercise more caution. With that said, a lot of it would depend on how far you shifted to the left - whether you were still on your side of the road or had drifted into the right-side of the road. Even then, it might be hard to determine who was in the wrong. Hope that helps a little and hope you are doing ok!
@@DriversEdDirect thank you for your time/response. Its strange I am not finding the specific rule in any manual. even DMV doesn't have answer. Even if I moved slightly to the left of the invisible line, the other driver could have easily prevented it by moving to his right since he had space. As an analogy, if there was a pedestrian in that invisible middle line, can the other driver go and hit him and say that he has the right of way. The manual also mentions about defensive driving, so the other driver could have prevented it and that's the point I am arguing with my insurance.
What about in situation where you arrive first at a 2 way stop and the car straight across from you is going straight and you are making a left turn? Does arriving first give you right of way or you have to give right of way to other car because they are going straight and you are making left turn?In this specific situation I arrived first but since both me and the car straight across from me were waiting for cross traffic to clear we both were ready to enter intersection at same time however I still had arrived first.
In that situation, technically the person who arrived first has the right of way, even given that you both were waiting for cross-traffic to clear. However, if the other person insists on going because they incorrectly assume they have the right of way, I would just yield to them and let them go first. Whatever you can do to avoid a collision is always best :)
Hope that helps!
@@DriversEdDirect got it I appreciate it!
@@GenEmperor Anytime!
If I do not have stop sign but I want turn right I can not stop but how my right turn speed I confused
Hello! If you are not required to stop before turning right (making what we call a rolling right turn), the safe speed to turn is about 10-15 mph. Rolling right turn speed really depends on a lot of factors:
• Is the turn sharp or wide?
• Is the curb a gradual curve or very pointed and sharp?
• Are there a lot of parked cars making things tight?
• Are you turning into a very narrow street?
The point is, every turn will have a slightly different flavor, but in general, 10-15mph should be your speed goal for a right turn. Don’t stare at the speedometer and only glance at it if you really have to… eventually you will just get a natural feel for the safe and appropriate speed for each turn.
Also, don’t forget the speed blueprint you should always follow for rolling right turns:
- Slow down well BEFORE the turn,
- Release and cover the brake, coasting through the arc of the turn
- Accelerate out of the turn.
Hope that helps!
During the Driving test - What if you're approaching a marked crosswalk and there is a pedestrian waiting there, but hasn't started crossing. Do you have to stop for them? Is it points off if you don't stop?
Thanks for asking, great question! You should always yield to pedestrians until you are 100% sure that they are not going to enter the crosswalk. If you are not 100% sure, begin to slow down and be ready to stop if needed. You can check their body language to see if they are just standing/waiting, or potentially going to enter the crosswalk. You can also try some non-verbal communication - try making eye contact with them, or try a small friendly wave to see if they acknowledge you. If you are certain they are NOT intending to enter the crosswalk, then you don't have to stop, just proceed with caution. If you do stop, make sure you check your rear-view mirror so you don't get rear-ended by a potential tailgater. Hope that helps!
@@DriversEdDirect Thank you!
hello ! so i have a question. if i’m at a t intersection and the person on my left has a stop sign and i don’t, do i still yield to the person on my left? or just make the turn ? i feel like i should yield and stop for safety but i’m still unsure
Hello Mayaliah! Excellent question. If the car on your left has a stop sign and you don't, then you have the right of way and you do not yield, you just make your turn as usual. They should yield to you. Of course, be prepared to slow down/stop if they illegally run the stop sign, but otherwise you just make your turn as normal without stopping. Hope that helps!
@@DriversEdDirect thank you , i have my test the 20th of april!
@@themayashow__ Nice! That gives you another 2½ weeks to prepare, you definitely got this! Practice as much as you can, and then just be the best driving version of yourself on your test day. You'll do great! If you haven't checked it out already, this video has some great test tips: ruclips.net/video/ohn197Im7KM/видео.html Let us know how your test goes, we'd love to hear your experience!
One query - when we have to turn right and stop for pedestrians crossing the street and moving opposite to where we are turning, how long should we stop? Should I make the right turn once the pedestrian is half way through or until they reach the end of the road?
Hello and GREAT question! If they are walking AWAY from you towards the opposite street corner, then you can make your turn once the pedestrian is half way across the crosswalk. Of course, if the pedestrian is crossing TOWARD you, you never start your turn no matter where they are in the crosswalk... you must wait until they are safely out of the intersection and up on the sidewalk. Hope that helps!
@@DriversEdDirect Thank you so much! I failed my first DMV test because the examiner thought I didn't wait for the pedestrian till she reached the end of the crosswalk. What if she would decide to start walking back?
This woman was walking away from me and I started moving once she was halfway through to the other side of the traffic. I was confused because I never saw anyone wait. The car behind me would start honking if I wait that long.
@@veggie_central Even though you should technically be fine as soon as they cross half way... On your test, just to be safe, I would wait until they're a little past half way (past the center yellow line). That way the examiner can be sure that there is no danger involved when you enter the crosswalk. Sorry you did not pass the first time, please let us know how your continued driving journey goes. Thanks for sharing!!
I have my Test tomorrow, 😇👍
You can do it! best of luck!!
@@DriversEdDirect Thanks a lot. ☺️😉 I passed my test. Your posts really helped me a lot. 😊🤍🩵🩷
Could you explain 2way more clearly and who has the right of way between the two vehicles across from each other at the stop signs.one of my main confusion with it is that,some people say that the one at the stop sign that is turning left always has to yield to the one turning right or the one going straight.while others seem to say that the person turning left only has to yield to the ones turning right or driving straight,if you both get at the intersection at the same time.which one is right?
Thanks for the question Amelia, it's a good one! When 2 cars arrive at an intersection with stop signs at the EXACT same time, and assuming both vehicles are across from each other, then we have to rely on common courtesy. In general, the vehicle turning left should yield to the vehicle going straight or vehicle turning right. However, this is just a strong suggestion and not a hard rule. In these "close call" situations, an aggressive driver may just assume the right of way and go for it. That is why we always teach to never insist on the right of way. Instead, use eye contact, head nods, and friendly gestures to help establish who goes first. For example, give a nice wave to the vehicle across from you, letting them know they can go first and that you'll wait for them. Likewise, if they wave to you first, gesturing for you to go first, then safely accept their courteous gesture. When you do go, always double check with the other traffic to make sure everyone "is on the same page" and only proceed to go if it is safe to do so.
Hopefully that helps! Thanks again and please stay safe out there.
What if you were the one turning left and the other one was coming straight ,but i got there first,wouldnt i be the one to go first since i got there first,despite me being the one turning left?wouldnt the first one to come be the first to go and wouldnt it decide who goes first over the directions we are going?
@@ameliaevans8134 Yes, you are correct! If you both had stop signs and you for their FIRST, then you would have the right of way!
Thanks for the quick reply and for clearing things up because people tend to explain things but they arent clear and they leave out important things and so they end up saying something contrary to what you are already thought or understand things to be and some say the conplete oposite things as to who has the right of way in such situatuation.i dont want to learn after something happens n i so rather be sure.
@@ameliaevans8134 You got it, it always makes sense to make sure you understand the rules of the road. Thanks for watching!
What if on a four way stop, me facing another car stops at the same time and were both turning left. Who will go first? Thank u for the answer
Hello, excellent question! If you are both turning left, then you both should be able to turn at the same time, as you should not interfere with each other. Just proceed cautiously and make sure there is enough room for both of you to turn without issue. Be careful though, sometimes drivers across from you will have their turn signal on, but will still drive straight. Hope that helps!
@@DriversEdDirect same as right turns? Thank u so much for your video. I got failed on my first attempt on my road test because of a four way stop as I wasn’t able to see clearly the stop sign because of parked cars blocking the intersection. I’m having my second attempt tomorrow, and your videos helps me so much to fully understand driving on a residential. Hoping and praying that I will succeed 😊❤️
@@vhonjovihonrado8606 Yes, same for right turns at an all-way stop... if it's just you and a car directly across from you, then you both should be able to turn right simultaneously.
That's tough when the stop sign is hidden, thanks for sharing! Sometimes looking for white stop lines at the corner, or maybe checking for a stop sign across the street, can help you figure out what kind of intersection you're dealing with. Good luck tomorrow!!
@@DriversEdDirect Yes, its tough especially when the residential road is narrow and congested. I will keep that in mind, I learn so much of your videos. Keep it up
@@vhonjovihonrado8606 Thank you!
Can you please explain the meaning of a two way stop compare to a four way stop!!
Hello, thanks for the great question! At a four-way stop (sometimes called an all-way stop), all 4 corners have a stop sign. That means everybody traveling in all directions must come to a complete stop. At a 2-way stop, traffic is only stopped at 2-corners, which usually means traffic is only stopped in two directions, and stopped traffic yields the right-of-way to the cross traffic. For example, at a 2-way stop there might be stop signs for the cars traveling north and south, but no stop signs for those traveling east and west. That means that the east/west travelers have the right-of-way.
Hope that helps!
@@DriversEdDirect thank you so much for the help..

@@DriversEdDirect nah it’s more embarrassing than that and its something that usually doesn’t happen with anyone.
@@DriversEdDirect all I can say is that I haven’t begun driving and I failed.
Doesn’t address the situation of two way stops at an uncontrolled 4-way intersection. The vehicle on the right rule doesn’t apply because neither vehicle is on the right. Gray areas should be covered in addition to the basics.
What if 4 people show up to a intersection at the same time and are all going straight 😅
Great question Kevy, thank you! In a situation where 4 cars all arrive at the intersection at the exact same time, then it all comes down to courtesy. We always teach to NEVER INSIST on the right of way. Using eye contact, head nods, and friendly hand gestures can help establish who goes first. For example, give a friendly wave to the car across from you, letting them know they can go and that you'll yield to them. Likewise, if they wave to you first, gesturing for you to go ahead, then kindly accept their courteous gesture towards you. Of course, always double check with the other traffic and only proceed to go if it is safe to do so. At the end of the day, be patient and make sure drivers from all directions are on the same page before you enter the intersection. We hope that helps!
@@DriversEdDirect Good to know, thanks for the response!
