257.650 Right-of-way; turning left at intersection; violation as civil infraction. Sec. 650. (1) The driver of a vehicle within an intersection intending to turn to the left shall yield the right of way to a vehicle approaching from the opposite direction which is within the intersection or so close to the intersection as to constitute an immediate hazard; but the driver, having so yielded and having given a signal when and as required by this chapter, may make the left turn and the drivers of all other vehicles approaching the intersection from the opposite direction shall yield the right of way to the vehicle making the left turn.

∙ 9y agoIf a car is turning left from a stop sign and another car is coming towards them that also has to stop, the car that got to the stop sign first has the right of way. If they both get to the stop sign at the same time, the car that is going straight has the right of way.

∙ 7y agoIn most jurisdictions in the US, whichever vehicle arrives at the intersection first has the right of way. Also, if one of the vehicles is an emergency vehicle (ambulance, police car, fire truck), IT has the right of way.
If two or more non-emergency vehicles arrive at the same time, generally the rightmost vehicle (the one which does not have another vehicle on its own right) has the right of way.

∙ 14y agoYou have the right away. Because when the car is oncoming, it is on the oppist lane, therefore, you have the right away...:)

When making a left turn where there no stop sign in an intersection who has the right a way?
Oncoming traffic does, unless they have a stop sign.
Before turning left the right-of-way should be given to oncoming cars?
Oncoming traffic always has right of way. When turning left, signal, stop, wait. Move only when it is safe.
When making a right or left turn you should?
occupy the right lane and make turn signal 100ft before turning.
If there are oncoming cars to the left of you and a child on a bike to the right what is the correct action to take?
When there are oncoming cars to left of you and a child on a bike to the right, long before you get close to the biker, SLOW down, be prepared to stop. Let all oncoming traffic pass. Stay behind the biker, with plenty of distance. Do NOT blow your horn at the biker--the child could wreck. Once ALL oncoming traffic is past, AND you have clear sight distance, slowly drive past the biker (even if you cross left of center) and pull back to your lane with enough distance in front of the biker. Bikers have rights to be on the road, too.
When making a left turn at a two way stop if an oncoming car is going straight?
If the person turning left got there first, they should go first, if a car across arrives at the same time or before, that driver should go first.
How do you make a right turn on red?
Signal your turn, well in advance.Get in the far right-hand (curb) lane.Come to a complete stop, behind the white stop line.Look for traffic coming from the left.Look for oncoming traffic making a left turn. (They might have a green turn arrow)When the intersection is clear, execute your right turn, staying in the right-hand lane.
Who is at fault when driver a makes a left in front of driver b at an intersection with no light or stop sign and driver b crashes into him driver a claims driver b was speeding?
Left turn (a) yields to oncoming traffic (b). Without a stop sign or traffic signal, driver b has the right of way.
After stopping at the stop sign before making a turn you should look right or left?
It's left, right, left. Reason is that you're on the left side of the car so you always want left to ur left first and last for safety.
What means traffic in yielding?
Yielding - used when speaking of traffic regulations, means that you must give the right-of-way to the vehicle that is lawfully proceeding on the roadway. (for example: At a 4-way stop controlled by signs - if two vehicles arrive at the interesection simultaneously, the drivers must YIELD to the driver on their right. -or- if you are making a left hand turn you must YIELD to all oncoming traffic).

When turning left at a green light do you stop then go or just go if theres no oncoming traffic?
You continue through the turn but only after you make sure that there is no oncoming traffic. It is your responsibility to yield to vehicles that are coming straight through the intersection.
Who is at fault if driver a waiting to make left hand turn does not yield to ongoing traffic and car b hits back end o f car who and was a busy street with no lights?
It depends on what you mean by 'ongoing'. If you are waiting to make a left, the traffic moving in the opposite direction is called the oncoming traffic. If you did not yield to the oncoming traffic, or did not wait for it to clear the intersection before you turned, then you are at fault for the accident. If you are waiting to make a left and a car moving the same direction as you are facing hits you, then the car that hit you is at fault IF you were stopped and/or signaling that you were turning left. When making a left turn from the left lane, cars on your side of the road are supposed to pass your car in the lane to the right of you; if you are making a left from the only lane, the cars behind you are supposed to stop and wait for you to make the turn.
