A. Intersections
A.1. All-way stop: Flintlock St. - Quality St. - Sunset Blvd.
The situation: at this intersection, the driver will see four stop signs, one of which applies to him. They will also notice that all roads have pedestrian crossings.
Expected and lawful resolution:
- Come to a full stop at the white line.
- Let any pedestrians cross.
- Give way to all vehicles that stopped at the intersection before you (time-wise).
- You have right of way to all vehicles that stopped after you (time-wise).
A.2. Yield-pedestrian: Puffer St. - Cornfield St. - Jeniffer St.
The situation: at this intersection-ish situation the driver will be faced with a yield sign and a pedestrian crossing. The driver should notice that he has to make two turns in order to proceed onto Jennifer St.
Expected and lawful resolution:
- Yield to a crawling speed at the yield sign.
- Check the pedestrian crossing, come to a FULL STOP if someone is crossing it.
- Give way to all drivers on Puffer St.
- You have right of way to all vehicles on Jennifer St.
- Indicate in your desired direction - if you are crossing into Jennifer St. its advised to turn on your LEFT indicator followed by your RIGHT indicator half-way into the intersection. This can however take drivers by surpise. If traffic is coming from either direction, I personally advise activating your hazard lights before crossing.
- Cross the intersection or turn into the desired direction.
