Controlled intersections have traffic lights, yield signs or stop signs to control traffic. At a controlled intersection where you face a green light, drive carefully through the intersection at a steady speed. If the light has been green for a while, be prepared to stop when it turns yellow. However, if you are already so close that you cannot stop safely, drive through the intersection with caution. Where you face a red light, come to a complete stop and wait until the light turns green.
When you approach an intersection on a main road, and the intersection is blocked with traffic, stop before entering the intersection and wait until the traffic ahead moves on. This does not apply if you are turning left or right.
At a controlled intersection where you face a yield sign, slow down or stop if necessary and wait until the way is clear before driving through the intersection. At a controlled intersection where you face a stop sign, come to a complete stop. Drive through the intersection only when the way is clear (Diagram 2-15).

What are the three types of intersections commonly found on the road?
The three types of intersections commonly found on the road are controlled intersections, uncontrolled intersections, and roundabouts.
Are Uncontrolled intersections more dangerous than controlled intersections?
Assuming the same volume, yes.
When to stop at intersections?
When controlled by a stop sign or signal and at the direction of a police officer.
Why do more collisions occur at controlled intersections than at uncontrolled intersections?
The primary reason is driver error. Most collisions at controlled intersections occur after a complete stop because the driver fails to look both ways before proceeding through the intersection. The other driver fails to rec­ognize a stop or yield sign, resulting in a collision.
What two things must you do at controlled intersections?
At controlled intersections, you must obey traffic signals (such as stop lights and signs) and yield the right of way to pedestrians and other vehicles as required by the signals. It is also important to be alert and check for oncoming traffic before proceeding through the intersection.
Do uncontrolled intersections have the same speed limit as blind intersections?

Is there a law that stating who has the right of way at an intersection?
Yes, traffic laws generally establish the right of way at intersections to ensure safe navigation. These laws vary by jurisdiction, but common rules include yielding to vehicles already in the intersection, giving way to the right at uncontrolled intersections, and following traffic signals at controlled intersections. It's important for drivers to be familiar with local traffic regulations to ensure compliance and safety.
What are intersections that are designed to regulate the flow of traffic called?
uncontrolled traffic intersections

Roundabouts are intersections that are controlled by a traffic officer?
Roundabouts are circular intersections designed to improve traffic flow and safety, allowing vehicles to navigate by yielding to traffic already in the circle. They typically do not require traffic officers for control, as their design promotes continuous movement and reduces the likelihood of collisions. Instead, drivers must follow signage and yield to vehicles in the roundabout. This contrasts with traditional intersections, which may require traffic signals or officers for regulation.
