Yielding Right of Way
Failure to yield right of way includes failing to yield to emergency vehicles, such as police cars, fire trucks and ambulances. The law also includes failure to yield at school crossings, pedestrians, and bicyclists. More common violations of failure to yield right of way include failure to yield from a red light, stop sign, private drive way, and pulling out of parking lots onto the public highways and streets.
A driver can come to a complete stop at a stop sign, yet still be at fault in an accident if that driver fails to yield to the car with the right of way. On a two way stop sign intersection, the cars with no stop sign have the right of way. The same applies to pulling out of a parking lot of a private business such as a convenience store or strip center. The flow of moving traffic has the right of way and it’s only legal to enter the street when it’s safe to do so.
General rule applying to yielding at intersections. When 2 vehicles approach or enter an intersection at approximately the same time, the driver of the vehicle on the left shall yield the right-of-way to the vehicle on the right. The driver of any vehicle driving at an unlawful speed gives up any right-of-way which he or she would otherwise have under this subsection.
Turning left or going to make a U-turn at intersection. The driver of a vehicle within an intersection to turn to the left or make a U-turn shall yield the right-of-way to any vehicle approaching from the opposite direction.
Intersection with through highway. The driver of a vehicle shall stop before entering a through highway, and shall yield the right-of-way to other vehicles which have entered or are approaching the intersection upon the through highway.
A Right-of-way where yield sign installed. The driver of a vehicle, when approaching any intersection at which has been installed a yield sign, shall yield the right-of-way to other vehicles which have entered the intersection from an intersecting highway or which are approaching so closely on the intersecting highway as to constitute a hazard of collision and, if necessary, shall reduce speed or stop in order to so yield.
Uncontrolled (no control device) “T” intersection. At an intersection where traffic is not controlled by a traffic control device, such as a sign or light or by a traffic officer, the driver of a vehicle approaching the intersection on a highway which terminates at the intersection shall yield the right-of-way to any vehicle approaching the intersection on a highway which continues through the intersection.
Entering highway from alley or nonhighway access. The driver of a vehicle entering a highway from an alley or from a point of access other than another highway shall yield the right-of-way to all vehicles approaching on the highway which the driver is entering.
If 2 vehicles or combinations of vehicles each having a total length of not less than 40 feet or a total width of not less than 10 feet approach or drive through a roundabout at approximately the same time or so closely as to constitute a hazard of collision, the driver of the vehicle or combination of vehicles on the right shall yield the right-of-way to the vehicle or combination of vehicles on the left and, if necessary, shall reduce speed or stop in order to so yield.
Moving a car from parked position. The driver of any vehicle that has been parked or standing shall, while moving that vehicle onto the lane of travel, yield the right-of-way to all vehicles approaching on the highway.
Entering alley or driveway from highway or street.
The driver of any vehicle intending to turn to the left into an alley or private driveway, such as a residence or business parking lot across the path of any vehicle approaching from the opposite direction shall yield the right-of-way to that vehicle.
The driver of any vehicle crossing a sidewalk or entering an alleyway or driveway from a highway or street shall yield the right-of-way to any pedestrian, or vehicle on the sidewalk or in the alley or driveway.
Traffic Circle or Roundabout.
The driver of a vehicle shall yield the right-of-way to any vehicle or combination of vehicles with a total length of not less than 40 feet or a total width of not less than 10 feet when approaching or driving through a roundabout at approximately the same time or so closely as to constitute a hazard of collision and, if necessary, shall reduce speed or stop in order to yield their right of way.
