Right-of-way
Right-of-way refers to a rule allowing the other drivers to go first before 
others whenever necessary. There are a few rules where you must 
right-of-way for other drivers. This rules are followed mostly in the 
united states were the traffic is more. The rules that are applicable for 
the right-of-way are:
At Intersection Points:
Drivers approaching the intersection point when there is no signal or 
signs to stop the passengers then you must yield the right-of-way for 
the traffic approaching from your right side.
 If the vehicle is at intersection point were there are signals to stop the 
vehicle you must give the way for the first vehicle approaching to 
complete stopping. If the two vehicles stop at a time the vehicle on the 
left side should stop and give the way to vehicle on the right.
When you want to turn at the intersections you must yield the way to the vehicles or the 
pedestrians approaching towards you and then go.
If there is a yield sign you must stop if necessary and allow the vehicles to go first at the 
intersections.
If you are coming from the driveway you must give the path for vehicles on the road and 
pedestrians who are walking on the footpath or side walk.
You should also give the pedestrians walking through the specially marked crossings.
On Mountains:
When the vehicles coming up and down of the hill face each other the the vehicle 
coming down the hill must give the way to the vehicle going up the hill as there won’t be 
much control for the up going vehicle than the down coming vehicle.
At Roundabouts:
Roundabout is a intersection point were the traffic is around the island in counter 
clock-wise direction. Vehicles coming and going away from there must give a way 
to the traffic along with pedestrians. When you are coming towards the roundabout 
slow down your vehicle and yield the way. Watch signals or signs carefully and 
enter the place were you find more gap. Don’t try to stop other vehicles passing out 
there and use turn signals when you change the lane.
Crosswalks:
Crosswalks are meant for the pedestrians. To indicate that white lines are drawn 
on the road or some lights are arranged on the road to indicate that pedestrians are 
walking. See whether the pedestrians are crossing even the lights are on or not 
and then cross the road.
These are general Right-of-way rules in united states that every citizen of America 
must follow.
