Question 4918

When you reach an intersection, the only sign you see is a broken transverse marking in your lane. What must you do?

  1. You must not cross that marking if you have to yield the right-of-way under the right-of-way rules.
  2. You must stop at that marking.
  3. You must not cross that marking under any circumstances.
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: You must not cross that marking if you have to yield the right-of-way under the right-of-way rules.

Without any right-of-way signs, the broken line across the lane marks the point you must not pass when you have to yield under the right-of-way rules, for example to someone approaching from your right. It does not always require you to stop. If no one has the right-of-way over you, you may cross it without stopping. In the image, the white passenger car approaches from the green car's left, so the green car does not have to wait for it.
