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

Regarding right of way and safety, drivers:

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

Only need to avoid collisions if they might be at fault

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

Should insist on their right of way at all times

2 / 20

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

Only pedestrians, not vehicles

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

Only vehicles if they are in the right lane

Only vehicles that are signaling

3 / 20

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

Immediately move over as soon as they see a construction sign

Signal, shoulder check, and merge when safe

Force their way in without signaling

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

4 / 20

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

Only vehicles if there is no crosswalk

No one, if you have your signal on

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

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

5 / 20

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

Only if a police officer waves them through

Only after all other vehicles have cleared the intersection

Only when no other vehicles are visible in any direction

6 / 20

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

Proceed without slowing if no one is visible

Only yield to vehicles on their right

7 / 20

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

The faster-moving vehicle

The driver on the right

The driver on the left

8 / 20

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

Only oncoming trucks

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

Only oncoming vehicles signaling right

Only oncoming vehicles traveling at or above the speed limit

9 / 20

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

Reduces differences in speeds between the two lanes

Eliminates the need for signaling

Increases the overall length of the traffic backup

Makes only the open lane move more quickly

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

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

Honk to alert the operator

Yield the right of way to that vehicle at all times

Only slow down if directed by a flag person

Maintain their speed and lane position

12 / 20

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

Intersections controlled by traffic lights

Roundabouts

T-intersections

Intersections with stop signs

13 / 20

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

Stop and wait for all merging traffic to pass

Not allow any vehicles to enter ahead of them

Speed up to get through before the other lane merges

Let one vehicle in from the ending lane, then proceed

14 / 20

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

Stop completely at the merge point

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

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

15 / 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 larger vehicle

The driver turning left

The driver who flashes headlights first

The driver going straight

16 / 20

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

Enter the intersection slowly without stopping

Proceed if no vehicle is immediately in front of them

Remain stopped until all cross traffic has passed

Only yield to vehicles turning left

17 / 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 the right of way to the driver on their right

All proceed at the same time

Each yields to the driver on their left

18 / 20

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

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

Only yield to pedestrians

Proceed if no one is in front of you

Only yield to heavy vehicles and emergency vehicles

19 / 20

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

Only early merging is allowed

Zipper merging is still allowed and recommended

Drivers should come to a complete stop at the merge point

Drivers must not merge in zipper fashion

20 / 20

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

Both may proceed at the same time when safe

They must alternate one at a time

Only the vehicle on the right may proceed

The faster vehicle goes first

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.
