On the main road at a T-intersection without traffic lights, you want to turn left into the side road. Car A is coming straight from the opposite direction, and a pedestrian is on the crosswalk of the road you are turning into. Which TWO are correct? Select TWO
- Your car (blue) is on the main road, about to turn left into the side road (S)
- Intersection without traffic control
- Car A from the opposite direction will go straight
- A pedestrian is crossing the crosswalk on the road you are turning into
At an intersection without traffic control, a vehicle turning left must yield to other vehicles going straight or turning right (Article 26(4) of the Road Traffic Act). Ask whether 'arriving first' changes this rule, and then what you must do at the crosswalk on the road you turn into.
Answer: ①, ④
Explanation
At an intersection without traffic control, a vehicle turning left must yield to other vehicles going straight or turning right there (Road Traffic Act Article 26(4)). If a pedestrian is crossing the crosswalk on the road you turn into, you must stop temporarily before it (Article 27(1)). Turning first because you arrived first, or swinging wide along the edge instead of using the inside of the center (Article 25(2)), is wrong.
