Tricky Task: Which Car Should Pass FIRST? USA Rules Of The Road

[@omegabulldog5001]

Yellow first and then blue and finally red truck. The reason for the red truck being the last to move is because it is going to turn onto a main road whereas both the Yellow and BLue vehicles are on the mainroad.

[@norseman5041]

Size does not matter, the red truck has a yield sign, so he has to yield to everyone. Traffic rules in this case has nothing to do with the size.

[@geniferteal4178]

@@jennyjansen754 exactly I think the flow of traffic is easiest for the yellow vehicle so we should go first then the blue truck second because it needs to get out of the way for the red truck. This may not follow traffic rules it just follows Common Sense who can easily get out of who's way first

The clown in the video doesn't know what he's talking about. The blue car shouldn't yield to the red one because the red has a yield sign, but because the blue car has a T-sign which means you've got the right of way.

@Thomas Aitken I'm not talking about shitty residential streets, I'm talking about the ones paved wide enough for three full lanes. Nobody seems to understand that even on some of the skinny streets, you shouldn't worry about the other lane unless it's a big truck! It's also not crossing over the middle of the road if there's a lane for parking, whoever has parked cars on their side of the street OBVIOUSLY is supposed to be allowed in about 2/3s of the road.

[@brettchristoffel6391]

Yellow blue red, have no idea of the road rules in the US, but looking at it practically yellow does not cross lanes, so goes straight through leaving room for the blue to get around the obstruction more easily, this leaves room for the truck to swing into the space where blue was as the truck needs to swing out wide to make the turn.

[@colinhepworth7920]

The minibus obviously, but on a second point the semi last, because of his length will need the area where the blue car is to maneuver.

Vehicle size is irrelevant. The truck has a Yield sign, so it has to wait for ALL traffic in the lanes it will cross, which will include the Blue car as it passes the rubble.

A typical oil tanker semi-trailer has a length of 42.64 feet. There is no way that Red truck is going to make that turn without going over the curb taking out the corner sign, and possibly risk the fuel tank falling over, spilling and catching fire. This is also assuming that the semi cab can navigate the sharp turn without going over the debris which would mess up his front end. Besides, with or without the debris on the road, the Red Truck needs are larger turning radius so the Blue Car is in the way either way. The Yellow Minibus seeing all this, panics and drives over the debris and promptly gets stuck, flees his car and runs into the adjacent grassy field screaming "the end of the world is near."

[@IRDeezlSmoke]

The road signs were the very first thing I looked for. I chose correctly. I received my license in 1978. A lot has changed regarding signs and rules since then. Often it is difficult to understand and accept a new sign design that was only recently introduced. But there is no replacement for experience. No matter how much one tries to teach through classroom and programs, experience on the road can only be gained.....on the road. That is why it is so important to pay attention and not be distracted. You have to not only look what you are doing, but watch what those drivers around you are doing as well. In real life, the situation presented in the video would have the yellow minivan complacent and with the thought process that it has the right of way, and therefore demand that all others respect that. The blue car however is in a hurry and dont have time to wait, so will demand that the minivan just slow and get out of the way to avoid a crash. Meanwhile the KW driver will be shaking his head and saying to himself "this is going to be a shitshow".

[@milliedragon4418]

And that we don't know how long the blue cars there we are assuming that everyone got there at once. But still efficiently even without the signs the yellow mini van would go first. Then I would assume the blue a bc the truck has and would take more time make turn and blocking the lane of sight. However normally the truck would of the right. But like you said since the blue car is already turning its most likely not going to stop but then isn't always case. Truck is easing. But y'all were over thinking it.

[@eliassvensson5257]

According to the traffic laws here in germany yellow drives first because blue has the obstacle in his way, then blue drives second because from the view of red he's coming from the right (always right before left unless a traffic sign says something else). 🙂

[@KaiHenningsen]

Also, truck has a yield sign (which we can only see from the back), so he actually has to wait for both directions.

[@Robbedem]

@@KaiHenningsen In Germany, there would also be additional white triangles on the road of the truck, to indicate he needs to yield.

[@JuergenHoppe1]

Here in Germany, you wouldn't have this situation, because if the truck has a yield sign, the yellow truck also have a priority sign. This is not the case here, as the sign you can see for the yellow is the same as the blue has (just with the intersection posting in the other direction). So any assumption from here to there is wrong. With a priority sign: yellow, blue, truck. Without priority/yield for anyone, so taking the rule right before left, well, that is tricky. The blue one would be first then, if there was no obstacle on his side, then the truck and the yellow last. But with the obstacle on the road, it would be § 1: Participation in road traffic requires constant caution and mutual consideration. Means, someone has to take a step back, and grant someone priority he would have above. So, giving hand signals to the one you want to yield to open this knot. I.E. allowing the red to drive first, then the yellow and the blue last. This is case dependent. But, this is the US, not Germany, so it has to be yellow, blue, red.

With a truck of that size, it will need the lane of the blue car to be able to turn and keep axels away from the side of the road. Minibus passes first, then the blue car and with the wide open lanes, the truck will make an easy turn to its right.

[@myria2834]

As a truck driver, that intersection would be a nightmare. Threading between the sign and debris without taking out the sign would be next to impossible with the debris obstructing the road ahead, it would still be an extremely tight squeeze with the truck fully in the oncoming lane. I'd be turning left and either looking for a better place to turn around and return to the intersection, or an alternate route if faster. (The left turn would still be difficult, but you can actually see the space between the truck and sign from the driver's seat, mostly blind on the passenger side.) Aside from that, the order is yellow, (as that is their lane) blue, then the truck.

[@BrokenLifeCycle]

Yellow, then blue, then red. But if I'm the blue, AND it's clear behind me, yellow goes through and I back up a healthy amount to give red the space they need to clear the turn. This is mainly because I want to see what will happen when red tries to negotiate this; plus, I potentially stop anyone else coming up behind me from blocking red from completing the turn.

[@TonboIV]

I'd say the blue car should yield to the minibus but not the truck, though in practice this kind of unusual situation is when you just have to go slow, be courtious and just kind of let everyone figure each other out organically.

Not sure. Don’t you have “yield to traffic from the right” in the USA? Without the road signs, the roads have equal importance, and the truck, coming from the right of the minivan, should go first, then the minivan, then the car.

[@smhedge]

@@Misteribel the roads do not have equal importance. The one with the car and van has priority because it goes straight through (without the construction mess, there is no reason to even slow down). With the construction, the car has to stop for obvious reasons. The van should slow down, but not stop. For the truck, even if it did not have the yield sign (which it does), there is an implied yield. What you are referring to with yielding to traffic on the right, comes from multiple vehicles arriving at a 4-way stop simultaneously. Even without signs, the correct order is van, car, then truck. As an aside, that truck could not make that turn with the car sitting there, anyway, without the trailer running through the grass and taking out the yield sign.

[@Misteribel]

@@smhedge I don't know about US, you're probably right. In Europe, without signs, there's no implicit yield, cars must give way to traffic from the right (only exception is when it's an exit, like from a garage). I live near such a street going to work, and everyone drives slow, looking to their right, at each of the many streets entering the main street. Without a sign that says who yields, you yield for traffic from the right. Been like that for ages in Europe, and one the main rules they test for when getting your driver's license. Assuming you talk about USA, good to know it's different there.

Interesting. Diamond shaped signs usually happen to designate a priority road in Europe. Of course the symbol gives away there's an intersection ahead. Signs that designate danger, hazards or invoke extra attention are triangle shaped, white with a red border over here in Europe, though the symbols are very similar. It's good to be aware of different road signs around the world when travelling. When there's an obstruction on your side of the road requiring you to go around using the oncoming side of the road, you have to yield for oncoming traffic and the yield sign for the truck completes the puzzle.

Okay, first off, why is this clearly two-way road marked off with WHITE lines? They should be yellow. The answer is 1) Minibus Only. Since the minibus has an unobstructed lane and no control elements in the intersection, it has the right-of-way. The blue car needs to make a pass to avoid the rubble, but nothing else (other than oncoming traffic) is restricting it's movement. Meanwhile, the Truck has a Yield sign, so he must yield for ALL traffic in the lane he's going to turn into, which will include the blue car. Of course, our instructor here seems to have a tendency to lean toward the overcautious at times, so although 1 is legally correct, he might say the answer is 3.

[@bobroberts2581]

I know in Missouri at least, cars entering oncoming traffic lanes are at the absolute bottom of the maneuver priority list, even below yield signs. So long as the truck driver is capable of making the turn alongside the blue car safely, he would have Right of Way after the yellow car. If trucker doesn’t feel secure in making the turn sharp enough, he is then required to signal via a wave through/light flash that blue should proceed.

[@oscarlorin3345]

Bob, you may want to double check on this. If you have documentation for this rule about ‘oncoming lanes are bottom of the list’ can you post the link for the rest of us in MO? I looked at the guide - dor.mo.gov/forms/Driver%20Guide.pdf - and the rule without a stop sign/traffic lights is for the truck to give way to traffic on its right - the guide does not say what lane that traffic has to be in. And the truck also has a yield sign. Blue certainly can give way to the truck, but is not required to. In the interest of safe driving - thanks Bob.

i agree. blue car should be last assuming the truck can turn without needing to cross the center line. i clicked on the link provided by oscarlorin. page 49 yield sign states "Yield A yield sign is triangular. It is red and white with red letters. It means you must slow down and yield the right-of-way to traffic in the intersection you are crossing or roadway you are entering." this would only apply to traffic from the left if i am making a right hand turn (as the red truck). my interpretation is that i wouldnt need to yield to the blue car as long as i dont travel into his lane. i would argue that blue IS required to yield to the truck because he is crossing into the lane of oncoming traffic. furthermore, this situation wouldnt happen without a flagger present anyway according to page 51. "This is work that takes place on a two-lane, two-way roadway with one lane closed.

[@lethiapage4767]

Yes the blue car is essentially passing, that is borrowing the other lane to get around an obstacle. If the road work was another vehicle he couldn't just go around it and get in yellow's lane with yellow approaching. He waits for yellow to get behind him then goes around the pile. Red yields so that blue and yellow are out of the way before making his turn. Would red be able to make a left turn at this corner even if no other vehicles were present? He'd need to enter the wrong side and then move over when he gets around the pile.

[@chesshead]

I initially thought minibus only, but I changed my mind. If the obstruction wasn't there, then the red truck would not have to wait for the blue car to pass. The obstruction is not in the path of the red truck, therefore the red truck should not consider it to be his or her problem. Blue car has to use the wrong side of the road, It should yield to anybody who is using - or is trying to use - that side of the road. This includes the red truck. Where this one gets a bit tricky is when you consider the size of the turning circle of the truck. It might need to use both lanes of the main road in order to enter it. In which case, he or she would be wise to wait for the road to be clear in both directions.

[@manuelhalican6693]

There’s a problem with this hypothetical situation while that orange sign that says there is crew working on the road almost always has contra flow being done by either road workers or police so the real answer would be whatever the person attending to the contra flow says to do as they usually have some type of contact with the person at the other end of the lane. That being said the yellow mini bus goes first than while yielding to oncoming traffic the blue lane goes than seeing as the red truck actually has a yield sign and is turning they mus make sure it is safe to do so meaning they go last.

First yellow , then blue then red truck , there’s a sign there for the red truck (Im Italian so i think.. it’s a yield sign?). So the right for the truck is occupied by the blue car and because of that sign he goes last

[@WolfRoss]

yellow, blue, truck. Truck may also need to swing into opposite lane to be able to stay on the road surface.

[@nofilagonda504]

Yellow, blue then Red

[@RovinTan]

green, red then blue, normally red should go last as it is suppose to yield to main road but in this case, blue need to cut into oncoming trafgic lane.

[@tomrunning357]

Seems like the vehicle that is driving on the wrong side of the center line, driving in the wrong direction would have to yield before entering this lane of traffic.

[@fredbrauning6573]

I agree

[@edl5731]

I got the "test" correct. But in real life if I am in the blue car I am yielding to both. The mini bus because that is the law, the truck because he weighs 20x as much and would crush me.

[@rich7447]

The truck would have to wait for you because it needs both lanes to make that turn without destroying the sign.

[@Knottypine79]

IRL, I believe you being too cautious could lead to future errors for other drivers. As a small passenger vehicle, you can react much faster if something is about to go wrong. But if it is your right of way, the best option is to proceed with it. Unless you're just being super nice to let the semi out.

[@GoosePlays20]

Yellow as yellow wants to go straight on, then blue as blue is waiting to go past the pile then red as red has to give way to all on main road

[@mrmoose6619]

First to go should be the person with the least maneuvers to avoid the dangerous situation. That would be yellow. Next should be the person who would normally not need to stop. That would be blue. Last is the person who needs to enter the street. That would be red. Especially since this is a semi-truck and needs all the room they can get... so a clear intersection is always best.

[@wjrneo2]

Even though its Yellow, Blue, Red I still think that since both Yellow and Red have Yield signs, they should Yield to blue, while Blue only goes through after ensuring its safe to do so because Blue is the only vehicle without a Yield sign. So while law says one thing, I think that Blue has right of way since others have yield signs. I also think that this is something that very well could vary by each state. This is similar in law to the the left turn lane laws regarding right of way. Let's say Blue Car is in left turn lane with a Green Arrow. And Yellow car is approaching intersection and has a Red light. If the Yellow car fails to stop at the stop sign, and RUNS the red light while the Blue car is turning under Green Arrow, the Yellow car still has Right of Way since they aren't turning. It's stupid, but it's the way it works in IL. Turning vehicles must yield to straight vehicles, even when straight vehicles have a red light and the turning vehicle has a green arrow.

[@65billh]

Didn't see the yield sign for truck. He holds position before either of the other 2 vehicles move out. Thank you.

[@MyBelch]

Yellow, truck and then blue. Blue has an obstruction in his lane. He must wait. Truck is turning, he must yield to traffic going straight. Yellow goes first followed by truck.

[@oenrn]

Red truck has a yield sign so must yield to everyone else. Blue car moves through yellow's lane so has to yield to it. Therefore: yellow, blue, red (1). The real question is how the truck will manage to turn without breaking something.

[@relasoft]

My order: 1 Yellow (red and blue, stop) 2 Blue (red stop) 3 Red

[@maggieb5326]

3. Blue yields to minivan and truck. Minivan has right of way , then truck and lastly blue car.

[@norseman5041]

nop.if you pay attention the truck has a yield sign. He has to yield to everyone.

[@gtrhero100]

@@norseman5041 The blue cars path is obstructed and has to wait for the traffic to clear to go around the obstruction, including allowing the truck to proceed as he has to only yield to the traffic going his direction.

[@Goldenhawk583]

@@gtrhero100 That is not how that works.. blue waits for yellow, and can go as nr 2. He is on a road with a right of passage, and the truck has a yield sign. yield signs tell you to wait for ALL cars passing in front of you.

[@spencertwoeightyz3383]

@@Goldenhawk583 that is not correct. traffic is permitted to make right hand turns without any consideration of what traffic is doing as it approaches from the right. a vehicle traveling outside or against the lane of travel NEVER has the right of way. end of story.

[@Sora-ING]

Even if the truck was replaced with another vehicle, they would still have to wait for the yellow minibus to go and then the blue car, before they make their turn. So, in actuality, the descriptions don't matter, since the perpendicular lane opposing the straight road has a yield sign

[@nekotranslates]

Meanwhile in other countries, they'd put up temporary traffic lights to control the flow. And then you'd have a situation where they're stuck on red for 5+ mins (which happens) when they usually cycle between 30 and 120 seconds - depending on how long the roadworks are.

[@Luredreier]

0:52 3) Even if the law may say otherwise it makes more sense to be careful. So from the point of view of blue I'd assume Yellow ->Red then Blue. From Reds point of view I'd say Yellow->Blue then Red, unless Blue shows that it's waiting for you. 2:41 Okey, that might be the US laws, but it makes no sense to assume that for blue in a passenger car. It's a good approach for Red though.

[@rousefire]

Red truck might have a yield sign but that is for vehicles in the correct lane .

[@eagle1de227]

by european standards it is Answer 3) Solution: blue has the obstacle on his side thus has to wait for yellow. For Yellow the Truck (red) has the right of way so it has to wait. At the end that means red first, yellow second, blue last.

[@insoft_uk]

In Europe that’s piss easy the yellow blue red, it’s child’s play . Top of the T has priority so red waits regardless, the blue has oncoming traffic, the yellow is on it’s lane and continuing straight it’s basic knowledge that everyone knows

[@davesutherland1864]

I agree with the answer, but I would not argue with a semi if it decided to go before me…

[@elizabetholiviaclark]

I thought the same thing. Yellow first, blue second, red third. But in reality, it depends upon who is forcing the issue.

[@MrYfrank14]

Blue car yeilds to both car and truck because the obstruction is in the blue car's lane. The blue car has to yeild untill the oncoming lane is clear. The truck would coming onto the main road before the blue car crooes over to the truck's lane, so the truck would in the oncoming lane before the blue car, and the blue car has to wait for the oncoming lane to be clear. But, we all know, the blue car ain't stopping for nobody and careen around the obstruction and bully his way through first.

[@jackvoss5841]

#1. HOWEVER, if the truck should start rolling, I would sure as heck yield. Gross vehicle weight may not be everything - but it’s way ahead of whatever is in first place. Courtesy of Half Vast Flying

[@lq7777]

Yellow because he is going straight and his lane isn’t blocked. After that, I’d say Red because it’s a legal turn. Blue goes last because technically they’re going to have to use the wrong side of the road. That’s how I see it.

[@NigelM18]

Totally agree!! Red is going right..... why the hell would traffic going in a completely different direction that doesn't affect him cause him to yield to them? Just because there's crap in the lane doesn't give blue the right to get in opposing traffics way. What if red was a car? The rules should be the same.

[@aj7978]

That's what I thought. You should only have to yield to the cars from the left when making a right hand turn.

[@lilyofthevalley7413]

Yellow blue, red

[@motleyassortment5512]

Green van goes first because it is right of blue car and it's going straight and it needs to get out of the way. Blue car goes 2nd because it is going straight and it is to right of red truck. Car on right of truck always right of way after green car passes. Last is red truck because it is turning right and need more space to make a turn.

[@sharongagnist6428]

I no longer can drive due to health however I knew the answer. few people in MA and RI would. (I'm from RI close to MA)

[@timbates6309]

I would yield to the mini bus then make sure the truck stays put before proceeding. Being right won't be much comfort with a semi on top of you, and i'm sure a cop won't ticket you for being cautious.

[@nathanielwilson1899]

Very easy if you know the rules of the road. Yellow car has right of way,next the blue car ,last the truck can turn.

[@mgc26133]

Again, a test of practicality and common sense. In the situations like this that forces one of the lanes to enter the opposite direction, the cars in the blocked lane have to act as if they will turn left, whether there actually is a left to be turned to. So they have to yield to the incoming traffic. The main thing to consider is that it is neither the incoming cars' duty nor responsibility to stop and wait, unless there is an officer telling or signalling them to do so. If uncontrolled, whether they choose to move a little right themselves and make space for 2 vehicles, even if possible, is their prerogative. They aren't obligated to. So in this situation, the car will only yield to the minibus. Because the truck has to yield to both, because it is trying to enter a main road.

[@clintstevenson1214]

Wish more people would watch and learn!

[@flitsertheo]

A smart driver lets the 40t red truck pass, whether it has priority or not. Though this lackluster way of signalling roadworks must be American. Here in Belgium they would place temporary traffic lights and a forest of road signs.

[@stevehartley7504]

Yellow pass blue pass. The truck would need to use the space occupied by the blue car to complete the turn

[@parmentier7457]

In the case of the Netherlands, the red truck comes from the right and therefore has priority. Also, there are no triangles or a line on the truck's street, so it doesn't have to stop. After that, the yellow minibus is allowed to drive. The blue car has an obstacle in its direction, so it has to let everyone go first anyway.

[@TonboIV]

From the shape, the sign in front of the Truck should be "yield", and since the blue car has neither a yield nor stop sign, it is on the main road and has priority over traffic on the side road, at least here in North America.

[@milliedragon4418]

It doesn't really matter what the signs are you have to look at the logic. I get in this video is trying to teach you the roads and and what they mean. But there is no way that truck hood has passed without creating a collision. The blue car would have created either a block and an multi car accident. Should have been more signs and and traffic cones indicate work to avoid the situation altogether. But hey that sometimes happens sometimes poor road signs/hazard happen. You have to look at it as a defensive driver standpoint. Allowing the yellow van to pass makes bc the van has straight line of sight. This is also going to make it faster to leave.

[@emstorm73]

Well, I don't think we can properly answer the question until we know whether it's the yellow minibus or the blue truck that is going in the wrong direction. That road has a white dashed line on it: it's a one-way street.

[@jensschroder8214]

What do the signs that do not comply with the Geneva Convention mean? The signs are similar all over the world, except in one country. guess 1 ) The shape of the 1st and 2nd signs shows that this street has the right of way. The 3rd sign shows the image for a construction site but the shape is wrong. The give way sign in front of the truck can be recognized by its shape. Oncoming traffic has the sign telling them that this road has the right of way.

[@elizabetholiviaclark]

A number of countries, including most of North America, are not signed onto the Vienna Convention on Road Signs and Signals.

[@RockyAliTyson1]

Yellow obviously goes first because its a straight line. It makes the most sense.

[@MultiMuskyman]

Legally if lane blocked in construction project on 2 lane road , floggers must be present , so wouldn’t have to worry what to do . Floggers will control traffic

[@STHFGDBY]

Though the rule in America is that you give way to traffic approaching from your right, this is not a cross road, it's a T junction, so that doesn't apply to the van here, only the truck does it apply. So the Yellow van has the right of way. The blue car would normally have the right of way, but in this case it has its lane blocked, the car is stopped and needs to leave its lane and drive on to oncoming traffic, therefore it needs to wait till the way is clear. The Truck cannot proceed till the car moves on, because of the wide angel the truck needs to take, so because of this the car gets precedence over the Truck.

[@qwertyTRiG]

Practically yield for both. Legally, yield for bus. Really, there should be temporary traffic lights in place.

[@MGTV1]

if you see this situation in real life, you need to call the road authority. that is a completely illegal work zone. plus that truck couldn't make that turn even without the pile, so i assume he is illegally travelling on a no truck route. blue needs to wait for oncoming traffic to pass, and the truck needs to rethink his carreer choice, because he is not making that turn without taking out the sign and tearing up that lawn. this kind of work zone at the very least needs one flagperson, then there is no question who goes when. but yeah, if the truck was a car, he has a yield sign, so he waits until the road is clear. the guy in the obstructed lane waits for the oncoming lane to be clear. so, green, blue, then red.
