  1. NEGOTIATING INTERSECTIONSCHAPTER 10

  2. SEARCHING THE INTERSECTION • Intersections are places where roadways meet.

  3. IDENTIFYING • Traffic Lights • Crossing traffic • Roadway markings • Stopping or turning traffic • Power lines crossing the street

  4. APPROACHING • 12-15 seconds ahead- Check signs, signals, zones, path of travel • 4-6 seconds ahead- widen search pattern, check zones, • 2 seconds ahead- point of No return

  5. STOPPING • If approaching a stop sign, light, yield, or another stopped car check your rear view mirror. • When stopped if you do not have a clear line of sight, ease forward so that you can see. • When stopping behind another vehicle always stop where you can see their back tires touching the pavement

  6. RIGHT OF WAY • Privilege of having immediate use of a certain part of the roadway REMEMBER…… • Your action shouldn’t cause others to yield, stop, change path of direction, or slow • Signs do not stop traffic for you • Don’t Assume • Many times it is better to yield anyway

  7. WHO AND WHAT?? • At stop signs to pedestrians • At fresh green lights to pedestrians and other cars • Coming from an alley, driveway, or private road to pedestrians and other vehicles on street • At all yield signs • To emergency vehicles (lights and sound) • When turning left at intersection • Four-way stops • At uncontrolled intersections

  8. JUDGING • Before entering traffic you must find a large enough gap in traffic • Depends on your maneuver and the speed of the other vehicle

  9. CONTROLLED INTERSECTIONS • Fresh green light- just turned • Stale green light- long time • Yellow- decide to stop or proceed • Red- STOP
