Understanding the Virginia Driver’s Manual Lesson 3 Right of Way 57
Right of Way Concepts § Right-of-Way is not a right or privilege – it must be given! § Right of Way is determined by a set of rules § Drivers must understand right-of-way rules governing § Intersections § Merges § Special conditions 58
Right–of–Way Concepts: Intersections Determine Who Should YIELD In The Following Situations § Controlled Intersections § Uncontrolled Intersections § Single or two-lane roads § intersecting with multiple-lane roads § When turning left § “T” Intersections § Railroad grade crossings 59
Right–of–Way Concepts: Intersections Controlled Intersections A controlled intersection has signs or signals to regulate the flow of traffic § Signs and/or signals § determine who should yield § regulate the flow of traffic and pedestrians 60
Uncontrolled or 4 -Way Stop Intersections § An uncontrolled intersection has NO signs or signals to regulate the flow of traffic § A 4 -way stop has a stop sign at each corner First Car Rule Same Time Rule Vehicles approaching an intersection must yield to vehicles already in the intersection When two or more vehicles approach an intersection at approximately the same time, the driver of the vehicle on the left shall yield the right-of-way to the vehicle on the right 61
Uncontrolled or 4 -Way Stop Intersections In these illustrations, the Blue Car must yield the right-of-way 62
Testing Your Knowledge If both of these vehicles arrive at this uncontrolled intersection at the same time, who must yield? a a. Car a b b. Car b 63
Testing Your Knowledge a. Car a Correct! At and UNCONTROLLED INTERSECTION or 4 WAY STOP if two vehicles approach at the same time, the vehicle on the left must yield 64
Right–of–Way Concepts: Intersections T-Intersections At a T-intersection, the vehicle on the side street must stop and yield right of way Traffic Circles Vehicles entering the traffic circle shall yield to vehicles already in the intersection 65
Right–of–Way Concepts: Intersections T-Intersections In the illustration above, the Blue Car must yield the rightof-way Traffic Circles In the illustration above, the White and Yellow Cars must yield the right-of-way 66
Testing Your Knowledge Who must yield at a traffic circle (roundabout)? a. Vehicles in the circle b. Vehicles entering the circle 67
Testing Your Knowledge b. Vehicles entering the circle Correct! Vehicles entering a traffic circle must yield to vehicles already in the circle 68
Right–of–Way Concepts: Emergency Vehicles Yield the Right-of-Way to Emergency Vehicles must yield the right-of-way to police, fire, and rescue vehicles using a siren and/or flashing lights If traffic is congested and prevents moving to the right edge of the road, adjust lane position and leave a clear path for the emergency vehicle to pass On an undivided highway, all traffic must pull over to the edge of the road and allow the emergency vehicle to pass 69
Right–of–Way Concepts: Pedestrians Yield the Right-of-Way to Pedestrians § Intersections § Crosswalks § Making Right Turns § Making Left Turns 70
Right–of–Way Concepts: School Bus Yield the Right-of-Way to School Buses All traffic must stop for a school bus with flashing red lights and an extended stop sign UNLESS the vehicles are traveling on the opposite side of a highway separated by a physical barrier or unpaved median area 71
Right–of–Way Concepts: School Bus If a School Bus is loading or unloading students on a two lane road, traffic from both directions must stop At an intersection, all traffic must stop In these illustrations, the RED cars must STOP and YIELD Right-of-Way 72
Right of Way Concepts: School Bus Vehicles traveling on the opposite side of a divided highway separated by a barrier or unpaved median do not have to stop In this illustration, the RED cars must STOP and YIELD Right-of-Way 73
Railroad Crossings Railroad crossings are specialized intersections Passing and overtaking is not permitted Virginia law requires certain vehicles (e. g. , school buses, oil tankers, etc. ) to stop at all railroad crossings If you follow one of these “Must STOP Vehicles”, be prepared to stop, since you cannot pass or overtake them at an intersection 74
Railroad Crossings Advance warning signs – a round, yellow sign with a black “ RR” indicates a highway-rail crossing is ahead - be prepared to stop Pavement markings – “RR” painted on the pavement - be prepared to stop Crossbuck signs are like yield signs – drivers must YIELD to trains • Slow down and be prepared to stop when you see the crossbuck sign. • A sign below the crossbuck indicates the number of tracks drivers must cross 75
Railroad Crossings Flashing red lights and warning bells § STOP - if you see flashing red lights or hear warning bells § Gates - flashing red lights and/or bells STOP Never go around the gates, it’s against the law § Flag operator - Proceed only when given the “all clear” signal § Train whistle - STOP if you hear a train whistle, or see a train Cross when the gates are up, the lights and bells stop, and all tracks are clear in both directions! 76
Testing Your Knowledge You must always stop for a stopped school bus with it flashing lights and stop arm unless a. You are at an intersection b. There are no children or unloading c. There is a median between you and the bus 77
Testing Your Knowledge c. There is a median between you and the bus Correct! You must always stop for a school bus with flashing lights and a stop arm unless there is a median between you and the bus 78
Testing Your Knowledge When you approach this sign, you should a. stop b. proceed with caution c. slow down, look and listen for trains 79
Testing Your Knowledge c. slow down, look and listen for trains Correct! The crossbuck should be regarded as a yield sign Drivers should slow down, listen and look for trains and be prepared to stop 80
Speed Limits A speed limit is the maximum legal speed you can travel on a road under ideal conditions Basic Speed Limits • School, Business or Residential Zones 25 MPH • Rural Expressway (Interstates) 65 MPH • Rustic Roadways 35 MPH • All other roadways 55 MPH UNLESS OTHERWISE POSTED 81
Speed Limits The 2010 Virginia General Assembly raised the maximum allowable speed limit in Virginia to 70 MPH. § These 70 MPH speed zones will only apply to roadways specifically designated by VDOT. § Driving above 80 MPH will still constitute reckless driving. 82
