Geared to Go A Workbook for Coaching New Drivers

A6Uncontrolled intersectionsAn uncontrolled intersection has no traffic light or traffic sign to control traffic going through it. Thelaw governing uncontrolled intersections states: When two vehicles B approach or enter an intersection fromAdifferent roadways at approximately the same time, the driver of the vehicle on the left shall yield the right ofway to the vehicle on the right.BBABBAAABA yields B to B A yields to B A yields to BConditions vary at different types of uncontrolled intersections and the learner needs practice at as manytypes as possible. Most collisions occur at intersections so the more experience the learner has at handlingAAthem the better.• Slow down at every uncontrolled intersection.B• Come to a stop or near stop at blind intersections (where visibility is limited or nothing can be seen tothe right and left).• Prepare to stop safely and quickly if a vehicle appears unexpectedly. The right-of-way is given,not taken.ABStay Safe‘T’ intersections that are not controlled are handled in the same way as regular four-wayintersections. The rules are the same – the vehicle on the right has the right-of-way over the vehicleon the left.54
