Understanding right-of-way is crucial for safe driving, as it determines who proceeds first in various traffic situations. This section covers intersections, pedestrian crossings, and scenarios involving emergency vehicles. For example, drivers must yield to pedestrians at crosswalks and give way to vehicles on the right at uncontrolled intersections. Emergency vehicles with flashing lights always have priority. Mastering right-of-way rules helps reduce collisions and ensures smoother traffic flow.
