As you approach an uncontrolled intersection (one without signs or signals), you notice that a bicycle to your left has arrived before you. Who has the right-of-way?
Correct answer
- The bicycle, because it arrived first.
- The bicycle, because it is to your left.
- You, because you are to the right of the bicycle.
Explanation
In Minnesota, bicycles are legal vehicles, and bicyclists have the same rights and responsibilities as operators of other vehicles. At an uncontrolled intersection (one without signs or signals), the vehicle that arrives first has the right-of-way, whether it's a car or a bicycle.
