Uncontrolled Intersection

The essentials

At an uncontrolled intersection, the driver must determine priority using road status, signs and the rules for equal-priority roads. This topic develops the ability to analyse the situation step by step and correctly build the order of passage.

What to remember

At an uncontrolled intersection, determine the order in sequence: priority signs, main/secondary road, then the rules for equal-priority roads. If the main road changes direction according to the sign, assess vehicle positions relative to that diagram. On equal-priority roads, giving way to a vehicle approaching from the right is one of the main reference rules.

The driver of which vehicle must give way? The driver of which vehicle must give way?
  1. Car driver
  2. Tram driver

The correct answer: Car driver

The correct answer is the car driver must yield to the tram. At an uncontrolled intersection of equal roads, a tram has priority over non-rail vehicles regardless of its direction. The car must stop before the tram tracks, wait until the tram has cleared the crossing completely, and only then continue straight.

Specify the order of passing the intersection Specify the order of passing the intersection
  1. Bus, truck, horse-drawn carriage
  2. Bus and horse-drawn carriage, truck

The correct answer: Bus and horse-drawn carriage, truck

The correct order is the bus and horse-drawn carriage first, then the truck. At an uncontrolled intersection of equal roads, drivers yield to traffic approaching from the right. The bus and carriage can pass simultaneously without conflicting, while the truck must wait and proceed only after the intersection becomes clear.

Which sign warns of an intersection of roads of equal importance? Which sign warns of an intersection of roads of equal importance?
  1. 1
  2. 2
  3. 3
  4. 4
  5. 5

The correct answer: 5

Option 5 is correct. The decisive details are the sign category, symbol and any supplementary plate; together they give the exact instruction. Remember: category first, symbol second, supplementary plate last. The other options change the required direction, signal or path and therefore do not match the requirement shown or described.
