Texas Driver's License Knowledge TestRight-of-WayMedium
At a four-way stop intersection, two vehicles arrive at the same time, one on the main road and one on a side road. Which driver has the right-of-way?
- AThe driver on the main road.
- BThe driver on the side road.
- CThe driver who makes eye contact first.
- DThe driver on the right.
Show answer & explanationAnswer & explanation
Correct answer: D. The driver on the right.
At a four-way stop, if two vehicles arrive simultaneously, the driver on the right has the right-of-way. The 'main road' concept does not apply at a four-way stop as all approaches are equalized by the stop signs.
Why the other options are wrong
- A. At a four-way stop, the concept of a 'main road' does not determine right-of-way; all approaches are equal.
- B. The driver on the side road does not automatically have right-of-way.
- C. Making eye contact is part of safe driving but does not grant right-of-way.
Four-Way Stop Right-of-Way (Simultaneous Arrival)
At a four-way stop, if two vehicles arrive at the same time, the driver on the right has the right-of-way.
- All vehicles must stop completely.
- First to arrive, first to go (after stopping).
- If simultaneous, driver on the right proceeds first.
Memory trick: Four stops, same time? Right is bright!
