Question 1548 in the bank

When you exit a dirt road on to a paved road.

  1. There is no obligation to give right of way. It depends on the good will of the driver exiting the dirt road.
  2. Give right of way to vehicle traffic on the roadway only when it is a two-way roadway.
  3. Give right of way to vehicles coming from your right side only and then drive. Incoming traffic from your left side should yield.
  4. Correct answer: Give right of way to vehicle traffic on the paved road from all directions.

Why this is the answer

The correct answer in the official bank: Give right of way to vehicle traffic on the paved road from all directions.

A driver coming out of a dirt road onto a paved road must yield to all traffic on the paved road, from every direction. The usual rule of yielding to the right does not apply, because a dirt road does not have equal standing with a paved road. The duty applies on one-way and two-way roads alike and is never optional.
