Right-of-way questions fail more permit test takers than any other topic — because the rules feel like judgment calls until you learn the system behind them. This page breaks down every right-of-way rule tested on the Delaware exam, then lets you practice them with instant AI explanations.
One mindset shift makes these questions easy: right-of-way is always *given*, never *taken*. The test asks who must yield — answer that, and the question solves itself.

Frequently asked questions
How many right-of-way questions are on the Delaware permit test?
It varies by version, but right-of-way and yielding scenarios are consistently among the largest topic groups on the Delaware exam — and the most commonly missed.
What's the most important right-of-way rule to remember?
Right-of-way is given, not taken. Every question is really asking "who must yield?" — answer that and you'll get it right even when the wording is tricky.
Do pedestrians always have the right of way?
In crosswalks — marked or unmarked — yes. The test loves this rule. Blind pedestrians with a white cane or guide dog have the right of way everywhere, always.
Can I practice only right-of-way questions?
Yes. Our question bank tags every question by topic, so you can run right-of-way-only drills until you score 90%+, then mix them back into full 32-question mock exams.
