Come to a full stop and yield the right-of-way before entering the intersection.

If the intersection is clear, the driver does not need to stop.

Drive quickly through the intersection to get out of the way of other vehicles.

When traffic control signals are not working, a driver must always treat the intersection as an all-way stop and come to a complete stop, unless otherwise directed by law enforcement. The driver must then look and yield the right-of-way before entering the intersection.

When turning the wheel during normal driving activity.

When backing or when momentarily turning on blinkers, the radio, or windshield wipers.

When turning a sharp corner, turn the steering wheel by using the hand-over-hand technique. When you complete the turn, straighten out the steering wheel by hand.

11. When may drivers stop in travel lanes?
