Question 5295
On a section with a steep grade, which vehicle goes first through a narrowing where the right-of-way is not posted, as a general rule?
- The one traveling uphill.
- The one with the greatest difficulty maneuvering.
- The one traveling downhill.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: The one traveling uphill.
On a narrow section with a steep grade of 7% or more, the vehicle going uphill goes first, unless it can reach a turnout first. Difficulty maneuvering only decides priority here if there is doubt about the grade or the distance to the turnout.
