A driver needs to yield the right of way to pedestrians when they are crossing the street at a crosswalk or intersection, regardless of whether there is a traffic signal or stop sign present. It is important for drivers to always be aware of pedestrians and yield to them to ensure their safety.

Who has the right of way at this intersection: drivers or pedestrians?

Pedestrians have the right of way at intersections, as they are more vulnerable and need to cross safely. Drivers must yield to pedestrians in crosswalks and at intersections.


What does a driver need to do when encountering a flashing red light at an intersection?

When turning left on green if you have a left turn yield on green and the driver across from you has a yield sign and is turning right who has the right of way?

Yes, absolutely. The only exception is if the driver turning right has a yield sign. This is one of the most common mistakes I see in the area I live. Many times, the driver turning right has a yield sign. That would give priority to the driver turning left. However, if the driver turning right has no yield sign, she has the priority. There are so many yield signs in my area that drivers turning left automatically assume they have the right-of-way even if no yield sign is present for the driver turning right.


Should a driver yield to a pedestrian in a shopping center parking lot if the pedestrian is not in a designated crosswalk area?

Look at it this way...if you don't you will get into A LOT of trouble for hitting a pedestrian. Pedestrians ALWAYS have the right of way.AnswerThere is no single answer for all situations, except that you need to drive with adequate care. No, absent a local statute to the contrary, pedestrians do NOT always have the "right of way", and they should be reminded of this with appropriate use of your horn, if there is time to encourage them to act smarter. When there are sidewalks, crosswalks, or safety islands, the pedestrians should use them, watch for moving traffic, and take responsibility when they don't. However, yes, you should "yield" to a pedestrian who is attempting to be hit by a car, if you can do so, in the same sense you should "yield" to a moose or a light pole that don't know any better.In a shopping center parking lot, a driver should expect random pedestrians, inattentive drivers, rolling shopping carts, hidden obstacles, and other hazards that require extra care.It is considered poor practice to hit a careless pedestrian or a car that is parked illegally, but in plain sight, if you can avoid it, making you liable if you don't. But pedestrians are often found "at fault" for creating the hazard that caused a collision through their own actions, such as "darting into the street", "crossing against the light", "opening door on traffic side of parked car," or other unexpected behaviour that puts them into the path of oncoming traffic.In California a driver must always yield right of way to a perestrian in a crosswalk.


Law clearly states which driver has right of way?

In general, the driver who arrives first at an intersection or stop sign has the right of way. However, there are specific traffic laws and rules that determine who should yield in different situations, such as yielding to pedestrians, emergency vehicles, or certain road signs. It's important for all drivers to understand and follow these rules to ensure safety on the road.


Does a driver need to stop at a yield sign if another car is not approaching?

They should at least slow down.


What traffic rules should pedestrians obey?

If there is a crosswalk, use it. Wait for the walking person icon before walking.Stop, look, and listen. Stop before crossing. Look both ways a few times to make sure you see no cars approaching. Listen for car engines. If all is clear, cross.If you have a bike, skateboard, or scooter, do not use them while crossing.Think safety first and cross the road!

You need to download a right driver for you card. These days all drivers come as exe file and only what you need to do is to double click on it and it will do everything for you. Sometimes you have install drivers manually for that you need to open hardware manager click on device you want to install driver for choose location where the driver is located. If you do everything right it will work.

Do you need it? Are you being told to calculate it? percent yield = (actual yield) divided by (theoretical yield) x 100
