[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]It’s your friend’s housewarming party, and he has invited your family to his new neighborhood, one you are not familiar with.\u00a0 It’s late, it’s dark, and you’re in an unfamiliar area.\u00a0 As you’re trying to navigate the twists and turns of this incoherently constructed subdivision, you notice a mini traffic jam forming.\u00a0 In front of you seems to be a big yard with some garden gnomes, but on both your left and right you spot other vehicles slowly approaching on a perpendicular road.\u00a0 But weirdly, none of you seem to have stop signs.\u00a0 Luckily, you are familiar with the intricacies of the “T” intersection after reading Scott Warmuth law blog.<\/p>\n
It is, in fact, your responsibility to stop at this particular intersection, even though you do not have a stop sign.\u00a0 According to the California DMV Rules of the Road:<\/p>\n
At \u201cT\u201d intersections without \u201cSTOP\u201d or \u201cYIELD\u201d signs, yield to traffic and pedestrians on the through road. They have the right-of-way.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
The DMV handbook also points out that there may even be some full 4-way intersections without any stop or yield signs.\u00a0 If that happens, the first vehicle into the intersection has the right of way.\u00a0 If two vehicles arrive at the same time, the vehicle on the right has the right of way, similar to how drivers would navigate a 4-way stop sign.<\/p>\n
