As you approach an intersection that is not controlled by signs or signals, you notice a bicycle on the roadway to your left has arrived before you. Who is given the right-of-way?
Correct answer
- The bicycle, because it is to your left
- The bicycle, because it arrived first
- You, because you are to the right of the bicycle
Explanation
Bicyclists have the same rights and responsibilities as car drivers. At an uncontrolled intersection (i.e., one without signs or signals), the vehicle that arrives first is given the right-of-way. In this case, you must yield to the bicycle because it arrived at the intersection before you did.
