Texas Car / Permit practice question · Right-of-Way

You are driving on a road that dead-ends at a T-intersection. Traffic on the through road:

Answer choices

• has the right-of-way, so you must yield before entering or turning— Correct answer
• must stop and let you enter first
• should slow down and follow your lead

Why this is the answer

When your road ends at a T-intersection, you must stop and give way to vehicles on the through street. The road that continues has priority, so traffic there does not have to wait for you. Only enter or turn once the way is clear, and don't count on other drivers to slow down or give way.
