Hey guys
Ive thought about this for a while but today i started really studying this, who the heck is even supposed to have the right of way on the station hill intersection cuz isnt there supposed to be a yield sign along with the turn left sign on saint rock street because that street merges and people going from station hill to oak hill are going straight & have the right of way or am i missing something. If any irl traffic professionals could utilize my beautiful drawing and explain this to me thatd be awesome, or is there really just a yield sign missing?

Refer to the following diagram:

Traffic coming from Oak Hill must stop and give way to both directions before proceeding, as per law 12.15:
Drivers must bring their vehicle to a complete stop at the solid white line or before a pedestrian crossing. After stopping, proceed only when it is safe and the road is clear.​

Traffic going from Station Hill to Oak Hill must cross over the oncoming lane of traffic from Saint Rock Street to proceed, and therefore are required to give way to that traffic per law 12.14, as this is technically just a weirdly shaped left turn:
Vehicles intending to turn left at an intersection or junction must give way to vehicles approaching from their front.
So the L turn from Fire Station towards Office is the main road. So cars taking that turn have priority.

If you go from Fire Station towards Oak hill (straight), you have to yield to cars on the main road (so taking the turn from Office towards FStation).

Any cars coming down from Oak Hill, yield to everyone else and also have to stop at the stop sign.

If you take the right turn from Office to Oak hill, you don't need to yield to anyone.

Is this understandable? I don't have a way to edit the image atm.
 
yeah, i thought curved lines like those on roads were just there to direct traffic when people turn so u dont end up in the wrong lane, its the yellow signs that make it that way or what?

The arrow signs are supposed to indicate what is the main road.

They don't indicate which direction you have to turn.
 
okay tysm that all makes sense now!! we really need those signs added into description of road signs in the penal code cause i think a lot of people are as confused as me about that intersection :p
 
In my country these would be the appropriate signs if you were coming to the intersection from the fire station.
