The Uncontrolled Intersection
Another type of intersection that is very hazardous is an uncontrolled intersection. This type of intersection has no traffic signs and no traffic signal lights. In Alberta in 2009, there were 192 casualty collisions from failing to yield right-of-way at an uncontrolled intersection.
When you are approaching an intersection that is uncontrolled (without traffic signs or traffic lights):
Did you know?
Understanding the rules of right-of-way at an intersection is one of the most common problems AMA Fleet Safety instructors see.
- Scan for traffic approaching from your left and right.
- Use caution and yield the right-of-way to the vehicle on your right.
- If the intersection is hard to see, slow down, cover the brake pedal and be prepared to stop.
Don’t just assume the right-of-way
