Question 5879

Which vehicle has the right-of-way at a narrowed section of road when priority is not expressly signed?

  1. The vehicle that has to back up the greater distance.
  2. The vehicle that arrived first.
  3. The vehicle that entered first.
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: The vehicle that entered first.

The vehicle that has already entered the narrow section has the right-of-way. Arriving at the entrance first is not enough if the other vehicle is already inside. The backing distance only matters when there is doubt about who entered first and the vehicles are the same type or one is not on the list. In the image, the blue passenger car is already on the bridge and the white one is approaching from the other end.
