Question 5080
How must the vehicle coming from the unpaved road merge onto the roadway?
- Accelerating to reach the maximum speed of the roadway.
- Yielding the right-of-way only to vehicles approaching from its right.
- Yielding the right-of-way and at a speed that allows it to stop at once.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: Yielding the right-of-way and at a speed that allows it to stop at once.
When leaving a dirt road, you must yield to all vehicles on the road, from both directions, because the paved road has priority. Enter slowly, at a speed that lets you stop immediately, just as when leaving a private road.
