Question: At a four-way stop, two vehicles arrive at the same time from opposite directions. Both are going straight through. Who proceeds first?

Answer options:

  • The vehicle on the right proceeds first ✅ Both may proceed at the same time because they are not crossing paths
  • Neither may proceed until a third vehicle arrives
  • The larger vehicle proceeds first

Correct answer: Both may proceed at the same time because they are not crossing paths

Explanation: When two vehicles face each other at a four-way stop and both are going straight, their paths do not conflict, so they may proceed together after stopping. Right-of-way conflicts at four-way stops are resolved by order of arrival, then by 'yield to the right' when arrivals are simultaneous.
