Traffic order and driving through intersectionsQuestion #16492
Must you give way to a car approaching from the left if you cannot tell the type of road surface and there are no priority signs?
Explanation
When you cannot tell the type of road surface and there are no priority signs, you must act as if you are on a minor road. That means giving way to every vehicle on the main road — coming from the right and from the left alike. Many drivers wrongly assume that without signs only the right-hand rule applies.
KET reference: KET 159: if a driver cannot determine the type of road surface and there are no priority signs, they act as if driving on a minor road.
