New York · Right-of-Way
At an uncontrolled T-intersection in New York, who has the right-of-way?
- Whoever signals first
- The driver on the terminating road
- The driver on the through road
- Whoever arrives second
Correct answer
The driver on the through road
Why this is correct
Traffic on the through road has the right-of-way at an uncontrolled T-intersection in New York. The driver on the terminating (stem) road must yield, even though there is no stop sign. This mirrors the rule for entering from a driveway onto a public road.
