Question 6896
What does the white triangle painted on the roadway mean?
- That it is mandatory to yield the right-of-way to vehicles approaching in the right lane when changing lanes.
- That drivers have the right-of-way when changing lanes.
- That the driver is required to stop the vehicle in all cases.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: That it is mandatory to yield the right-of-way to vehicles approaching in the right lane when changing lanes.
The painted triangle with its point toward you is a yield marking. Your lane joins the one on the right, so you yield to anyone in that lane before changing lanes, and stop only if necessary. It does not give you the right-of-way or require you to stop every time.
