An uncontrolled intersection should be treated as if which sign is present?

• A. Stop sign
• B. No Entry sign
• C. Warning sign
• D. Yield sign

Answer: (D)

When there are no signs or signals at an intersection, you handle it by treating it as if a yield sign is there. Slow down, look carefully for traffic from all directions and any pedestrians, and enter the intersection only when it’s safe. You yield to vehicles on the through road and to anyone already in the intersection, and if you arrive at roughly the same time as another driver, you yield to the vehicle on your right. You don’t have to stop unless needed to avoid a collision. This differs from a stop sign (which requires a full stop), a No Entry sign (which prohibits entering), or a warning sign (which warns of hazards but doesn’t dictate right-of-way).
