Chapter 2-14: Right of way

The “Right of way” section of the Saskatchewan practice test focuses on a driver’s ability to recognize and yield appropriately in various traffic situations.

Saskatchewan Driving Test - Chapter 2-14: Right of way

1 / 20

In a zipper merge in a construction zone, drivers should:

Use both lanes to the lane closure point, then alternate into the open lane

Only let in vehicles that signal at least 200 m in advance

Stop completely at the merge point

Move into the open lane as early as possible and block the other lane

2 / 20

In the scenario above, after the driver going straight proceeds, when may the left-turning vehicle go next?

Only after all other vehicles have cleared the intersection

Only when no other vehicles are visible in any direction

Only if a police officer waves them through

If it is safe, even if another straight‑going vehicle has arrived in the meantime

3 / 20

Regarding right of way and safety, drivers:

Have a moral and legal responsibility to avoid collisions, even if they have the right of way

Only need to avoid collisions if they might be at fault

May proceed if they technically have the right of way, regardless of others

Should insist on their right of way at all times

4 / 20

In a zipper merge, drivers in the continuing lane should:

Stop and wait for all merging traffic to pass

Let one vehicle in from the ending lane, then proceed

Not allow any vehicles to enter ahead of them

Speed up to get through before the other lane merges

5 / 20

When zipper merge signs are not present in a construction zone:

Zipper merging is still allowed and recommended

Drivers must not merge in zipper fashion

Only early merging is allowed

Drivers should come to a complete stop at the merge point

6 / 20

When a highway construction or maintenance vehicle has its warning lights flashing, drivers must:

Only slow down if directed by a flag person

Maintain their speed and lane position

Yield the right of way to that vehicle at all times

Honk to alert the operator

7 / 20

At a yield sign, what must a driver facing the sign do?

Only yield to vehicles on their right

Come to a full stop every time

Yield the right of way to any other motorist approaching the intersection

Proceed without slowing if no one is visible

8 / 20

When entering a street, road, or highway from a private road, lane, or alley, you must first yield to:

No one, if you have your signal on

Vehicles on the street, road, or highway, then pedestrians

Pedestrians on the sidewalk, then vehicles on the street, road, or highway

Only vehicles if there is no crosswalk

9 / 20

When opposing vehicles are both going straight at opposite stop signs, how should they proceed?

They must alternate one at a time

Both may proceed at the same time when safe

The faster vehicle goes first

Only the vehicle on the right may proceed

10 / 20

At a three-way or four-way stop, which vehicle should normally proceed first?

The vehicle to the left

The first vehicle that comes to a complete stop

The largest vehicle

The fastest-moving vehicle

11 / 20

One benefit of zipper merging in construction zones is that it:

Increases the overall length of the traffic backup

Reduces differences in speeds between the two lanes

Makes only the open lane move more quickly

Eliminates the need for signaling

12 / 20

When entering a provincial highway from any other road, you must yield the right of way to:

Only pedestrians, not vehicles

Only vehicles that are signaling

Only vehicles if they are in the right lane

All vehicles on the provincial highway and pedestrians closely approaching the intersection

13 / 20

After the first vehicle goes at a three- or four-way stop, how should the remaining drivers proceed?

The heaviest vehicle goes next

Each yields to the driver on their left

Each yields the right of way to the driver on their right

All proceed at the same time

14 / 20

At a two-way stop, vehicles facing the stop signs must:

Only yield to vehicles turning left

Proceed if no vehicle is immediately in front of them

Enter the intersection slowly without stopping

Remain stopped until all cross traffic has passed

15 / 20

The basic “vehicle on the right” rule also applies to which of the following?

T-intersections

Roundabouts

Intersections with stop signs

Intersections controlled by traffic lights

16 / 20

At opposite stop signs in a two-way stop, when both vehicles arrive around the same time and one is turning left while the other goes straight, who has the right of way?

The driver going straight

The larger vehicle

The driver who flashes headlights first

The driver turning left

17 / 20

In a zipper merge, vehicles in the lane that is ending must:

Immediately move over as soon as they see a construction sign

Stop at the end of the lane and wait for someone to wave them in

Force their way in without signaling

Signal, shoulder check, and merge when safe

18 / 20

In any situation where you are facing a stop sign, you must:

Proceed if no one is in front of you

Yield to vehicles and pedestrians and not proceed until it is safe

Only yield to pedestrians

Only yield to heavy vehicles and emergency vehicles

19 / 20

At an uncontrolled intersection where two vehicles arrive at about the same time, which driver must yield the right of way?

The driver on the right

The faster-moving vehicle

The larger vehicle

The driver on the left

20 / 20

When turning left at an intersection, you must yield the right of way to:

Only oncoming vehicles signaling right

Only oncoming vehicles traveling at or above the speed limit

Only oncoming trucks

Any oncoming vehicles close enough that your turn would interfere with them

Your score is

Questions test knowledge of yielding rules at intersections, crosswalks, roundabouts, and when merging onto highways. Drivers must understand when pedestrians, cyclists, and other vehicles have the right of way, such as at four-way stops or when turning left across oncoming traffic. The test also covers yielding to emergency vehicles and school buses. Mastery of right-of-way principles is vital for preventing accidents, reducing confusion, and ensuring smooth, courteous, and lawful driving on Saskatchewan’s roads.
