1.

When approaching an uncontrolled intersection, a driver should:

Maintain their speed and proceed.
Stop at the intersection, check in all directions, and proceed.
Yield to all other drivers.
Be prepared to yield.

Explanation ▾

At an intersection where there is no stop sign or traffic signal, you should yield to a vehicle approaching the intersection from the right. However, always be prepared to yield to avoid a crash. Do this by taking your foot off the accelerator, covering the brake, and looking left, right, and left again.

2.

What does a single dashed yellow line separating traffic mean?

Drivers may pass if it is safe to do so.
Both lanes travel in the same direction.
Drivers may not pass.
Drivers may pass, even if it could be dangerous.

Explanation ▾

Yellow lines separate traffic moving in opposite directions. A single dashed yellow line in the center of a road indicates that vehicles traveling in both directions are permitted to pass. Drivers may only begin a pass if they will not interfere with any oncoming traffic.
