At T-intersections, who gets the right of way?

At T-intersections, the vehicle on the main road has the right of way, while the vehicle on the cross street must yield. This means that if you are approaching from the cross street, you should wait for traffic on the main road to pass before making your turn or proceeding through the intersection.

Understanding this rule is crucial for maintaining safety and preventing accidents at intersections. Vehicles on the main road are often traveling at higher speeds, and those on the cross street need to be cautious and ensure there is a safe gap in traffic. Yielding to the main road traffic helps facilitate a smoother flow of vehicles and ensures that drivers have enough time to react to any changing conditions. Always remembering to yield to those on the main road is essential for responsible driving, especially in areas with heavy traffic.
