A 3-minute lesson from the Texas course. Read the rules and examples, follow the handbook page references, and check your understanding before you move on.
Right-of-way rules tell you who should yield, but right-of-way is something given, not taken. If another driver doesn't follow the rules, let them go anyway. These are the situations the test asks about most.
At an intersection with no signs, signals, multi-lanes or pavement differences, yield to any vehicle that has entered or is approaching on your right. Also check left, and be sure the other driver yields before you go.
One-way frontage road: frontage road traffic yields at the ramps
Know the rule
On a road with three or more lanes moving the same direction, a vehicle entering a lane from the right must yield to a vehicle entering the same lane from the left.
You're on a two-lane county road approaching a four-lane divided highway with no signs or signals. The vehicle on the divided highway has the right-of-way. Stop if needed and wait for a safe gap.
Check your understanding
Read the question, decide on an answer, then open it to check the explanation. These are Roadwise study questions based on the source handbook.
