Question:
Hi, hope you can help me? I need to know where to find the road rule on intersections.
Two small roads join a main road the one small road is paved and marked with stop street. The other road is unpaved and unmarked. What is the rule on the right of way to join the main road? See attached drawing
Please, I have been Googling this and not finding any luck.
Answer:
The rule that applies is copied below. The person on the lower order road is entering or crossing the main road and needs to comply with reg 299.
Reg 299. Crossing or entering a public road or traffic lane
(1) The driver of a vehicle shall not cross a public road unless the road is clear of moving traffic for a sufficient distance to allow him or her to cross the road without obstructing or endangering any such traffic.
(2) The driver of a vehicle shall not enter a public road unless he or she can do so with safety to himself or herself and other traffic.
(3) The driver of a vehicle on a public road divided into traffic lanes by appropriate road traffic signs shall not turn from one lane into or across another lane unless he or she can do so without obstructing or endangering other traffic.
Regards
Alta
