Rules to remember10 key right-of-way, roundabouts and turns rulesShow the rules
  1. Laws do not give anyone the right of way; they only say who must yield, so stay alert for drivers who fail to yield. (p. 41)
  2. At a four-way stop, the driver who stops first should be permitted to go first. (p. 46)
  3. Breaking the speed law as you enter an intersection costs you whatever right of way you would otherwise have had. (p. 46)
  4. Traffic moves at slow speeds in a counterclockwise direction around a roundabout. (p. 47)
  5. Once in the roundabout, keep moving and don't stop; proceed to your exit. (p. 47)
  6. When making a lawful turn on a red light after coming to a complete stop, you must yield to pedestrians. (p. 48)
  7. You must yield to a pedestrian in a marked crosswalk on your side of the roadway, with or without traffic signals. (p. 48)
  8. All drivers must signal at least 100 feet before an intersection; at higher speeds, signaling 4 to 5 seconds ahead is better. (p. 50)
  9. Plan ahead and be in the proper lane well before the turn, following the proper steps to change lanes. (p. 51)
  10. Signal, then slow and check for persons and vehicles in your turning path before you turn into the proper lane. (p. 51)
