    Show answer

    D. All traffic coming from the opposite direction

    When turning left at an intersection or into an alley or driveway, yield the right-of-way to all traffic coming from the opposite direction. Wait for a safe gap; your signal only shows your intent.

  4. Your light turns green, but cars are still stuck in the middle of the intersection. What should you do?

    • A Go, because the green light gives you the right-of-way
    • B Wait until the intersection is clear before you enter
    • C Honk so the stuck cars move faster
    • D Drive around the stuck cars on the shoulder
    Show answer

    B. Wait until the intersection is clear before you enter

    At signals, wait until the intersection is clear of traffic before entering, and do not go just because you have the green. Entering a blocked intersection can trap you and cause crashes.
