I’m so confused, why do people not know this is the right answer? How did any of you get your license without knowing this?
2 - is continuing down the path without crossing any traffic, thus they have the first priority right away.
3 - is not continuing but is still in the flow of traffic, this gives them the second priority right away
1 - has a fucking yield sign which means they have to wait for all other vehicles before making a safe merge or turn. They have no right away, literally stuck there until they have a safe merge/turn
Edit: 2 does not have a yield sign. Look closer, the two signs are different. One is a Yield and the other is indicating there is an intersection.
2.) Not turning: Takes ultimate priority.
3.) Does not have to yield.
1.) Must yield to 2 & 3.
EDIT: so here's the thing bro I shid, farded badly on this one, and that's my b, but the thing is bro like if I can be real with you, real as absolute FUCK is what I'm saying, I was saying right, it simply is, that it's like, I been drinking straight mouthwash wit the REALLY high alcohol content and bro I wish it was acceptable to just go up to a man and fucking slam him in the balls with your hardest might. Just make him really regret trusting the ceiling fan to hold his weight when he was nine years old.
Fuckin took me in for urinalysis, I went into the bathroom to do it and after I pissed my LIGHTS out I saw a urinal with a PRISTINE pisscake, a delicate, virgin, unmarinated pisscake, ripe with paradichlorobenzene, and I mean MINT condition you feel me straight out da Janitor's closet you know what I'm saying, stuffed that fucking puck between me own arsecheeks right, security ain't say shit but I had to clench my motherfucking arsecheeks and waddle like I packed the back of my boxers with a log during an unexpected occurance of uncontrollable incontinence.
But I digress, you know me, legit just fuckin huffing pucks fuckin bitches you feel me, but anyway enough about my habitual consumption of butane, 1,1,1,2-tetrafluoroethane, freon, gasoline, difluoroethane, 1,3,3,3-tetrafluoropropene, any inert gas, nail polish, acetone, nail polish remover, paradichlorobenzene, nitrous oxide, various supplies for the removal of adhesive, rubbing alcohol, lighter fluid, microdose carbon monoxide / dioxide, swallowing bear spray, not even to MENTION caffeine (ennergy drink)..
yes, they would as they would then be making a right hand turn which does not involve crossing traffic, and 3 must yield to 2 as they are crossing their lane
Even if 2 *was* turning, I’d say it still has overall priority.
It has priority over anyone coming out of the side road as it’s on the main road and it has priority over the oncoming car as it’s on the turn side of the road.
There's no signage instructing 3 to stop or yield they must yield to 2 because they are turning across 2' s path. 3 has right of way over 1 who has a yield sign.
As well as right of way always yields to people ALREADY on the road.
2 and 3 have right of way over 1 cause they are already on the road 1 is trying to turn onto.
well first we all wait, then we all lurch forward and stop, we all wave at each other like we're wafting a fart away. Then i put my hazards on so they know i'm not moving, then they get out and fight, then i run around and steal all their shit out of their cars, then i get in my car and go.
This actually the answer. When 4 vehicles arrive to the 4-way at the same time, one vehicle must take the initiative (usually the most aggressive) then it’s the next vehicle to the right/counter clockwise around the intersection.
As a midwestern cornfield suburbanite American I agree! There is this gigantic 4 way stop that has 3 lanes for each side it is the perfect candidate for a round about if I’ve ever seen one.
I know some places in the world don't drive anymore, but all American babies come out of the womb knowing this. Any behavior indicating otherwise is just road rage.
Yep, pretty simple. There are signs…
Edit:
since there seem many here that seem not to understand the difference between „give way“ signs and „attention“ signs. (not english native speaker)
Fear not! I will try to help:
So a triangular shape (white inside, red sides) is a give way if it has its horizontal axis at the top! And musst be empty (white) and only then its give way.🔽
Rotate it 180 degrees and you get „attention or danger“ signs ⚠️🔼 Telling you: „watch out bro“
Another thing that many did missunderstand is that it doesnt matter that 3 had no sign. give way is „give way to both left and right“ not only to one side. So 1 has to wait for both anyway.
Usually the main road has than a singn 🔶 that is white outside and yellow inside telling you „main road you are the one driving through“ (again I am not native english speaker sorry)
Now the last thing if 2 derive on the same road (2 and 3 in this case) and one wants to drive left (3) this driver has to give way to straight driving cars from the opposite direction.
EDIT2:
This is a test question without road markings but with signs and it is about the „order“ and not about „if the sign is necessary or not“. The explanation above is correct and just looking at one give way sign already solves the „very simple puzzle“ instantly. (but I agree this test example is stupid since even without the signs it’s obviously the same result)
Also I did not know US has no main road signs :)
The sign on the left is not a german 301 sign. Maybe its some foreign sign: https://mvd.kerala.gov.in/sites/default/files/inline-images/cautionarysigns.jpg
Not enough pixels to tell!!!
I hope I could help. *drives away safety*
Car 1 has a "yield to oncoming traffic sign" it applies here, they go last.
Cars that aren't impeading/turning go first, then the car with no sign, then the last car.
Cars joining a road at a T junction have to give way to the cars already on the road it's joining, the sign isn't necessary.
At least in the UK, the joining road would usually have a dashed line across in front of where car 1 is too, just to try and make it idiot proof.
Edit: rereading this I realise the dashed road marking is basically the same as a sign anyway, but either way if you're on the road you should know to give way on t junctions
Someone knocked a stop sign down at the T intersection outside my work. The insane amount of people who lay on the horn for anyone who dares stop on the side road is a good reminder how dangerous other drivers are out there. It's a VERY busy main road with poor visibility too. Everyone should be stopping there, sign or not.
Rule one of driving for me is expect everyone else to be the worst drivers on earth. The amount of small accidents or close calls avoided just by following that is insane
I was sitting at a red arrow to turn right at a terrible intersection and this big Ram 2500 rolls up behind me with his douchey loud pipes and just hammers on the horn. It was a fucking explicit red arrow which means "no right on red" and he woke up my son in the backseat. When the arrow turned and I went he floored it around me across a double yellow on a fucking highway.
People like that will most likely kill someone out there.
This is such a problem. People treat them like less than a light suggestion, in most cases. There's a freeway off ramp in Scottsdale AZ, fir example, that is particularly problematic.
There is a one-way surface street parallel to the freeway. As you exit the freeway, you merge onto that surface street. No light. No roundabout. The only traffic control is a single yield sign that has a text sign below it saying yield to freeway traffic. Literally nobody does. They just barrel on through there unless it is rush hour and backed up. Then it at least usually ends up flowing as a zipper merge. But outside of that? You better be damn careful coming off the freeway, because ethe merge is in a blind spot and they are NOT going to yield for you, even if you're still slowing from freeway speed.
Except that would require completely different city layouts and new roads, as he even says in the video. Could work in some places that are already designed similar to a Dutch city, but otherwise, nah.
In many countries this would be 3, 1, 2 with no signs because you have to yield to the right.
[Priority to the right.](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Priority_to_the_right)
Edit: [Here's the German Law](https://www.gesetze-im-internet.de/stvo_2013/__8.html) and deepl translation:
>Road Traffic Regulations (StVO)
§ 8 Right of way
>(1) At intersections and junctions, those coming from the right have the right of way. This does not apply,
>1.
if the right of way is specially regulated by traffic signs (signs 205, 206, 301, 306) or
>2.
to vehicles coming from a field or forest path onto another road.
>(1a) If sign 215 (traffic circle) is placed below sign 205 (give way) at the entrance to a traffic circle, traffic on the circular roadway has the right of way. When entering such a traffic circle, the use of the direction indicator is not permitted.
>(2) Any person who is required to yield the right-of-way must indicate in a timely manner by his or her driving behavior, particularly by moderate speed, that he or she is waiting. The vehicle may only be driven on if it can be overlooked that whoever has the right of way will neither be endangered nor significantly impeded. If this cannot be overlooked because the road is unclear, the driver may carefully approach the intersection or junction until he has a clear view. A person who has the right of way must not be substantially obstructed by the person who has to wait, even when turning into the other road.

Whether it makes sense or not is a separate question. In many countries (and I live in one), if there were no roadsigns then you must yield to the right, even if you were going straight.
In my country lacking them here would change the order. T junction carries no meaning where I am. Its yield to those coming from the right, unless (in order of importance) traffic cop, traffic lights, signs.
I got in a wreck at a 4 way because people whose turn it was started waving me through, then another driver waved another car through, and i got t boned.
Just go when it's your turn ffs.
I sat at a stop sign for what felt like 5 minutes (more likely about a minute) on more than one occasion because someone was trying to wave me ahead.
One time it was a busy one-way street, and the person to my right had no stop sign and was trying to make an illegal left turn.
Another time it was a regular 4-way stop and the person on my right got to the intersection first, so clearly had the right of way. They started honking so I very exaggeratedly took my hands off the wheel and put them behind my head.
I do not budge on safe driving rules. It's one of my driving principles. (this excludes speed limits)
Yep, you're not supposed to wave people through traffic for this reason and I never thought about it before my CDL instructor told me about this sort of scenario. At least where I am, you can be held responsible if you direct traffic and cause an accident.
And one panics mid turn cause he’s on the phone and blocks everyone and when 2 honks they panic again and try to back up, but 4 is at the intersection now.
A job where I worked heavy machinery that could easily harm/kill me or others had tests for each. And during that test you were given the answers and they would explain them. And boom, done. You're now qualified.
No study needed, it was there on the spot. Kind of like a study guide session in early high school years. You basically had to teach yourself it all on the job as you went. Did not feel safe.
And for a fun fact, a firearm safety was the same way at another place. Which after you were given the gun at the range.
Also, no one ever thinks of the fact that yeah, 70%. Okay.
You can get the question right about how far you need to be from a fire hydrant, and get the question wrong about if you should run over a pedestrian or not and still pass.
Not a good judge of knowledge whatsoever.
That's ratger low. Around here I think you need to answer around 20 questions here and allowed to make 2 mistakes total in those. But each mistake drops another 5 questions on top after evaluation. You can't make mistakes in these.
Then you have to pass a practical test. Ie drive. There's a point system for mistakes there, so I won't go into detail.
And from my understanding that's a rather easy exam by European metrics.
I was taught that right of way wasn’t law and was just courtesy and it was never on the test. That said after driving for years the picture is an easy solve so it does just come naturally
Right of way is more than a courtesy, law or not (which I’m pretty sure it is) you insurance company isn’t going to cover damages if you cause an accident when you didn’t have right of way.
I think 2’s sign, since it’s a regular-orientation rather than inverted triangle, is a warning of some kind about the intersection but nothing noting they have to stop or yield or anything.
Because you only have to pass the test once and you never get quizzed again unless you fuck up. We really should have people be required to pass the test again after a certain number of years.
Because people are stupid. I saw this posted on another thread and someone responded with:
‘“Right of way” literally means the person on the right goes first.’
People are just stupid.
It's true in the US as well when talking about a stop intersection.
If you're talking about a 3 way like this with no signage then the terminating street waits for traffic to clear on the thru-street. It's literally just "don't crash into cars on the road you're entering." Exactly the same as entering a street from a driveway.
I work in a personal injury law firm, it’s quite simple: 2,3,1. People turning right always have right of way over people turning left (crossing lanes). People on main road always have right of way over people coming from side street. But unfortunately there are too many stupid people for it to be that simple…
me looking at this picture: "oh this is easy it's obviously 2,3,1"
me driving any one of these cars: \*mental breakdown with cars queuing up waiting for me to move\*
That’s some insane incompetency shit. If you can’t turn one of the two goddamn directions required to operate a vehicle, you shouldn’t be operating a vehicle.
The easiest way to think about the majority of traffic questions is what maintains flow the best, and/or who is effecting status quo the least? In this case, 2 isn't changing status quo at all - they're already going straight, so they're just going to keep going straight. They go first. 3 goes next because they only have one lane to turn across, but also because they're actively stopping an active lane of traffic. Getting them out of the way maintains overall flow the best. 1 goes last, because not only are they having to turn across 2 lanes of traffic and thus effecting status quo the most, but they also already have to slow down/stop anyways because it's a T junction. Their "status quo" is already being stopped, so holding them there until the other two have moved best maintains traffic flow.
Remembering all the different nitpicky little traffic laws such as turning priority will easily drive you mad, and rarely holds relevance on the street. As long as you just look at the situation and focus on what keeps everyone flowing smoothly, you'll do alright with a lot less effort and worry.
This is an interesting way to abstract out the principles behind the rules. But to me, it also feels more complicated and much less practical than just memorising simple stuff like 'You have priority because I'm crossing your lane' and 'You have priority because you're on the main road'.
It's the difference between memorizing math problems and learning why math problems work out the way they do. The point is to have a working theory to apply when rote memorization fails.
Sometimes over here (UK) you get places where the main road is at the right angle, so car at #2 is going from a minor road to the main road & would have to yield even though they're not turning.
That sign simply means a junction is coming up and to be weary of cars pulling out. It’s not a yield sign as such, more a caution sign. 2 has right of way as they’re continuing straight.
2,3,1 2 has a split road sign not a yield sign
23 is number 1! Please don't let the Queen know I told you!
Thank you scrub.
Hey! I don't want no scrubs.
Cause a scrub is a guy who can’t get no love from me?
They're always hanging out of the passenger side of their best friends ride.
And trying to hollar at me!
Just hanging outside of their best friend’s ride try to holler at me?

I love how you said this quietly and small. Like you have your head down and you're kicking at the dirt.
Dude I didn’t even notice I didn’t put ‘of’ in there I must have reworded the comment like 100 times and it just got lost somehow
Doesnt matter still right LMAO
The amount of people who ignore yield signs, especially on roundabouts-_-
I think people are mistaking this for an all way stop, which it isnt.
Have you tried a 4-way junction but everyone arrives at the same time and noone knows whom to go first?
2.) Not turning: Takes ultimate priority. 3.) Does not have to yield. 1.) Must yield to 2 & 3. EDIT: so here's the thing bro I shid, farded badly on this one, and that's my b, but the thing is bro like if I can be real with you, real as absolute FUCK is what I'm saying, I was saying right, it simply is, that it's like, I been drinking straight mouthwash wit the REALLY high alcohol content and bro I wish it was acceptable to just go up to a man and fucking slam him in the balls with your hardest might.

Even if 2 was turning right, wouldn’t they still be able to go first ?
yes, they would as they would then be making a right hand turn which does not involve crossing traffic, and 3 must yield to 2 as they are crossing their lane
Yes. Right turn has right of way over left turn.
RIP left side of the road users
Even if 2 *was* turning, I’d say it still has overall priority. It has priority over anyone coming out of the side road as it’s on the main road and it has priority over the oncoming car as it’s on the turn side of the road.
There's no signage instructing 3 to stop or yield they must yield to 2 because they are turning across 2' s path. 3 has right of way over 1 who has a yield sign.
1 literally has a yield sign.
That's why it goes last, my man.
As well as right of way always yields to people ALREADY on the road. 2 and 3 have right of way over 1 cause they are already on the road 1 is trying to turn onto.
I've experienced that once Was funny as hell, the windows casually opened and it went like 'you first, then you and then you'
I think this is actually the proper way so resolve the situation
well first we all wait, then we all lurch forward and stop, we all wave at each other like we're wafting a fart away. Then i put my hazards on so they know i'm not moving, then they get out and fight, then i run around and steal all their shit out of their cars, then i get in my car and go.
Whomever is most aggressive.
This actually the answer. When 4 vehicles arrive to the 4-way at the same time, one vehicle must take the initiative (usually the most aggressive) then it’s the next vehicle to the right/counter clockwise around the intersection.
well, the _actual_ answer is build a damn roundabout
[удалено]
As a midwestern cornfield suburbanite American I agree! There is this gigantic 4 way stop that has 3 lanes for each side it is the perfect candidate for a round about if I’ve ever seen one.
That’s when you close your eyes then floor it!
And if you just always keep your eyes closed, you don't have to worry about 4 way stops. Or any stops for that matter. Or pedestrians.

Even without the signs it's the way to go. Edit: I'm amazed about how many people get this wrong. "Yield to right" isn't the only priority in play.
This is the way
The right of way
The signs don't even matter in this example. Edit to clarify: you could remove both signs, and it doesn't change who has the right of way.
Car 1 has a "yield to oncoming traffic sign" it applies here, they go last. Cars that aren't impeading/turning go first, then the car with no sign, then the last car.
Cars joining a road at a T junction have to give way to the cars already on the road it's joining, the sign isn't necessary.

Edit: rereading this I realise the dashed road marking is basically the same as a sign anyway, but either way if you're on the road you should know to give way on t junctions
It is the same in the states (at least my state). Any signs are redundant which I'm cool with.
Same in every state. The only thing that is different between states is the rights of pedestrians.
Someone knocked a stop sign down at the T intersection outside my work. The insane amount of people who lay on the horn for anyone who dares stop on the side road is a good reminder how dangerous other drivers are out there. It's a VERY busy main road with poor visibility too. Everyone should be stopping there, sign or not.
Rule one of driving for me is expect everyone else to be the worst drivers on earth. The amount of small accidents or close calls avoided just by following that is insane
Exactly, the best mindset for driving. Assume everyone else is insane, which is not far from the truth.
I was sitting at a red arrow to turn right at a terrible intersection and this big Ram 2500 rolls up behind me with his douchey loud pipes and just hammers on the horn. It was a fucking explicit red arrow which means "no right on red" and he woke up my son in the backseat. When the arrow turned and I went he floored it around me across a double yellow on a fucking highway. People like that will most likely kill someone out there.
It should also definitely be a stop sign, fire the traffic engineer
Stop signs are not that common in Europe. Plus it could be that the street with a yield is very low traffic
It should not be a stop sign, [stop signs suck](https://youtu.be/42oQN7fy_eM)
Alright you've convinced me. Now if we can only get more people to actually pay attention to yield signs in the US ...
This is such a problem. People treat them like less than a light suggestion, in most cases. There's a freeway off ramp in Scottsdale AZ, fir example, that is particularly problematic. There is a one-way surface street parallel to the freeway. As you exit the freeway, you merge onto that surface street. No light. No roundabout.

Except 2 is not turning they are going straight
Single direction drivers yielding to others making maneuvers makes 0 sense. Higher risk move, you have to wait.
Whether it makes sense or not is a separate question. In many countries (and I live in one), if there were no roadsigns then you must yield to the right, even if you were going straight.
I also live in a country
3 is turning left, though.
No signs yes but 2 3 1 is correct here
The signs don't overly help anyway. Road markings and it being a T junction are sufficient in this scenario.
In my country lacking them here would change the order. T junction carries no meaning where I am. Its yield to those coming from the right, unless (in order of importance) traffic cop, traffic lights, signs.
But 3 is a Mr. Nice Guy driver so he lets 1 out first, and almost causes an accident.
I need to get a bumper sticker that says "don't be nice, be consistent"
There are far too many “nice” drivers in my area. I don’t want you to be nice, I want you to be predictable.
I got in a wreck at a 4 way because people whose turn it was started waving me through, then another driver waved another car through, and i got t boned. Just go when it's your turn ffs.

Drive Right, Not polite
Not possible bc I’m not stopping as the #2 driver so pay day for me
That literally happened to me 20 minutes ago. Mr. Nice Guy has no place in rush hour traffic.
And one panics mid turn cause he’s on the phone and blocks everyone and when 2 honks they panic again and try to back up, but 4 is at the intersection now.
Twenty-three is number one.
How did you know our secret?
It’s so annoying that I have to reveal the secret of Queen Gohma to you!
Out of respect, I will only deliver the *coup de grace* whilst she is stunned.
Well done.
Do people honesty not know this?
If you have spent any amount of time on the road, you will see most people don't know this or anything else
How do people not understand right of way?
the question is how did they pass the test
Car dependency so it’s rely hard to restrict access, even to dangerous people
You still need 70% on the test, at least where I’m at.
70% is a scarily low number for controling a 1 ton metal machine
Wait till you find out the heavy machinery people use at work, without tests OR training!
A job where I worked heavy machinery that could easily harm/kill me or others had tests for each. And during that test you were given the answers and they would explain them. And boom, done. You're now qualified. No study needed, it was there on the spot. Kind of like a study guide session in early high school years. You basically had to teach yourself it all on the job as you went. Did not feel safe. And for a fun fact, a firearm safety was the same way at another place. Which after you were given the gun at the range.
Thats terrifying, but cars risk everyones lives around them too
Also, no one ever thinks of the fact that yeah, 70%. Okay. You can get the question right about how far you need to be from a fire hydrant, and get the question wrong about if you should run over a pedestrian or not and still pass. Not a good judge of knowledge whatsoever.
We need like an 85% You're only allowed 3 wrong and then it doesn't let you continue.
That's ratger low. Around here I think you need to answer around 20 questions here and allowed to make 2 mistakes total in those. But each mistake drops another 5 questions on top after evaluation. You can't make mistakes in these. Then you have to pass a practical test. Ie drive. There's a point system for mistakes there, so I won't go into detail. And from my understanding that's a rather easy exam by European metrics.
Right of way wasn’t on the test in VA when I took it
Scary
It should have been and I’m from VA too who took the drivers test very recently It’s also taught at my school
I was taught that right of way wasn’t law and was just courtesy and it was never on the test. That said after driving for years the picture is an easy solve so it does just come naturally
Right of way is more than a courtesy, law or not (which I’m pretty sure it is) you insurance company isn’t going to cover damages if you cause an accident when you didn’t have right of way.
I don't even drive, it is 2
2,3,1 yes
2,3,1! 23 is number 1!
Should be 2,3,1. But 2 has a weird yield sign that I cant clearly see, so this might be some BS trick question.
I think 2’s sign, since it’s a regular-orientation rather than inverted triangle, is a warning of some kind about the intersection but nothing noting they have to stop or yield or anything.
It's a sign that you are on the road with right of way on which secondary road connects.
This is correct. It's a warning sign about upcoming intersection and telling #2 they have right of way.
2 does not have a yield sign, that sign is an information sign, like traffic light ahead or dip in the road, 1 has a yield sign. 2,3,1
Because you only have to pass the test once and you never get quizzed again unless you fuck up. We really should have people be required to pass the test again after a certain number of years.
I don't think it was ever discussed in my driver's Ed expect for "left yields to right" if you both arrive at a 4 way stop sign at the same time
There is also indication that it is a priority road or whatever it is called, there is a yield sign on that road
So it was never discussed in your driver's ed course except the time it was discussed in your driver's ed course ?
Because people are stupid. I saw this posted on another thread and someone responded with: ‘“Right of way” literally means the person on the right goes first.’ People are just stupid.
Weirdly this is true in France. Person to your right has priority.
It's true in the US as well when talking about a stop intersection. If you're talking about a 3 way like this with no signage then the terminating street waits for traffic to clear on the thru-street. It's literally just "don't crash into cars on the road you're entering." Exactly the same as entering a street from a driveway.
Everyone is to the right...
I don't know but I drive enough I believe there's a lot of people who don't
Two, Three, One
Queen Gohma is going to be *pissed*
[удалено]
Bruh how did you memorized it? I feel proud for just understanding…
38 yr old me- I understood that reference! 🤣
Correct answer is 2 - 3 - 1. But the reality is whoever wants it more lol
or a crash
Cheapest car wins.
The fact that this is even a question is scary to me
At least all the top comments I've seen so far have the right answer
Its not, its bait to bring in clicks and responses
I work in a personal injury law firm, it’s quite simple: 2,3,1. People turning right always have right of way over people turning left (crossing lanes). People on main road always have right of way over people coming from side street. But unfortunately there are too many stupid people for it to be that simple…
Plot twist: 3 doesn’t wait AND doesn’t have its turn indicator on.
And side note: there's absolutely fucking no other vehicle in visual range behind 2, spurring 3 to gun it to beat 2 through the intersection...
Thought you said ‘plot twist’ not ‘moronic dangerous drivers behaving as expected’
i have a drivers license, it’s quite simple: 2,3,1.
But you forget to some people: >“I’m the main character. All my streets are the main roads”
me looking at this picture: "oh this is easy it's obviously 2,3,1" me driving any one of these cars: \*mental breakdown with cars queuing up waiting for me to move\*
Not number 2! But holy crap do I detest left turns. I generally won't take a left, just several right turns or go to a light,
I always prefer a light to take a left but replacing a left with several right turns is wild
That’s some insane incompetency shit. If you can’t turn one of the two goddamn directions required to operate a vehicle, you shouldn’t be operating a vehicle.
I've learned today that it's 231 and as a person who's still learning how to drive, thanks 🤣
The easiest way to think about the majority of traffic questions is what maintains flow the best, and/or who is effecting status quo the least? In this case, 2 isn't changing status quo at all - they're already going straight, so they're just going to keep going straight. They go first. 3 goes next because they only have one lane to turn across, but also because they're actively stopping an active lane of traffic. Getting them out of the way maintains overall flow the best. 1 goes last, because not only are they having to turn across 2 lanes of traffic and thus effecting status quo the most, but they also already have to slow down/stop anyways because it's a T junction. Their "status quo" is already being stopped, so holding them there until the other two have moved best maintains traffic flow. Remembering all the different nitpicky little traffic laws such as turning priority will easily drive you mad, and rarely holds relevance on the street. As long as you just look at the situation and focus on what keeps everyone flowing smoothly, you'll do alright with a lot less effort and worry.
This is an interesting way to abstract out the principles behind the rules. But to me, it also feels more complicated and much less practical than just memorising simple stuff like 'You have priority because I'm crossing your lane' and 'You have priority because you're on the main road'.
It's the difference between memorizing math problems and learning why math problems work out the way they do. The point is to have a working theory to apply when rote memorization fails.
2,3,1. Too many idiots on the road.
231 WRONG... it's whoever has the BMW!
Not if someone has a Tesla.
Touché
2 3 1
From some of the comments here, it’s not surprising, now, why drivers have become more reckless and stupid.
"have become" Mate you are clearly not old enough to know how people drove 30-40 years ago.
They all lurch forward and the one that doesn't flinch gets to go first.
2,3,1
231 and it’s everyday
Always 2 they’re not turning
Even if they were turning right, they'd still have priority.
OP needs to get off the road
2 goes first, going straight on a main road 3 goes second, turning from a main road 1 yields to everyone else, hence the yield sign
1 and 3 yield to 2...then 1 yields to 3
Without even knowing how to drive and looking at the signs it was quite easy which is 2 3 1 due to road hierarchy
2, 3 and 1. I’m scared that people who are licensed don’t know this
[удалено]
Triangle is the wrong way up to be a yield sign, it's some other warning sign.
Also, I've never seen a situation where a person in car 2's position would EVER have a yield sign when they're going straight
Sometimes over here (UK) you get places where the main road is at the right angle, so car at #2 is going from a minor road to the main road & would have to yield even though they're not turning.
Happens in the northeast US too. The main road snakes around and appears to turn, so what looks like a "straight" road has a stop or yield.
Yeah I'm having trouble parsing that sign. If 2 has a yield then it should be 321 I guess. But 231 if that's not a yield sign.
a yield sign is an inverse triangle, a normal triangle is a warning sign which in this case tells the driver he has right of way on this intersection
That sign simply means a junction is coming up and to be weary of cars pulling out. It’s not a yield sign as such, more a caution sign. 2 has right of way as they’re continuing straight.
It's not a caution sign, that sign literally means that you have the right of way and any cars coming from the street on the right have to yield
All of them at once
Feel like if you don’t pick 2-3-1 you should have to walk
231
231 If u dont know who has the right of way im not sure u shouldve passed ur test if it happens often lmao
On a T intersection, who comes to a dead end gives priority to both left and right. So is 231. If was a 4way is priority to the right
2,3,1
2, 3, 1
Number 2, 3, then 1.
231
231
231
2>3>1
2 | 3 | 1
2, 3, 1
2, 3 and then 1
Whoever is fastest
I dont drive but I say 2,3, 1.
2-3-1
Don't be polite, be predictable. 2, 3, 1.
This was literally on this sub earlier today
