Think You Know When You Have the Right-of-Way? Start the Quiz!
Ready to ace our right of way test? Explore real traffic scenarios now
Use this right-of-way quiz to figure out who goes first at intersections, roundabouts, and highway merges. You'll practice real traffic rules, get instant feedback, and spot gaps before a permit or driving exam. When you finish, try the road rules warm-up for more practice.
Study Outcomes
- Identify Priority Rules -
Understand when you have the right-of-way when you are approaching different intersection types, from four-way stops to traffic signal - controlled crossings.
- Apply Driving Rules -
Apply rules of the road in our interactive rules of the road quiz to practice yielding, stopping, and merging with confidence.
- Differentiate Right-of-Way Scenarios -
Differentiate between yield signs, stop signs, and uncontrolled intersections by working through a variety of right-of-way scenarios.
- Analyze Decision-Making -
Analyze your responses in the right of way quiz to recognize common mistakes, then retest with the right of way test for improved accuracy.
- Evaluate Safe Maneuvers -
Evaluate safe driving maneuvers and identify correct protocols to maintain smooth traffic flow and minimize collision risks.
- Reinforce Knowledge Retention -
Reinforce key right-of-way concepts through scenario-based practice, sharpening your driving smarts and boosting road safety.
Cheat Sheet
- Four-Way Stop Rule -
At a four-way stop, the first vehicle to come to a complete stop has priority, then follow the order of arrival. If two vehicles stop simultaneously, the one on the right goes first - remember "first in line, then right is fine." (Source: State DMV Driver Handbook)
- Yield Sign Priority -
A triangular yield sign means you must slow down and let oncoming traffic go before you proceed; if there's a dashed white line, come to a complete stop when necessary. Practice merging by matching the speed of the main flow - this keeps traffic smooth and safe (Source: National Highway Traffic Safety Administration).
- Uncontrolled Intersection Basics -
No signs or signals? Treat it like a yield: vehicles on your right have the right-of-way, so you'll yield to traffic coming from that direction. This "yield to the right" rule is taught in most university traffic safety courses as a key decision point in busy neighborhoods (Source: AAA Foundation for Traffic Safety).
- Roundabout Rules -
In roundabouts, circulating traffic always has priority - entering vehicles must yield to those already in the circle. To remember: "Left is best" when you're inside, and always signal your exit (Source: Federal Highway Administration guide).
- Emergency & School Vehicles -
Always pull over to the right and stop when an emergency vehicle with lights and sirens approaches; remain stopped until it passes or you're otherwise directed. At school buses with flashing red lights, traffic from both directions must stop - this rule is non-negotiable for student safety (Source: National Safety Council).
